If you are implying something other than Christianity, understand a lot of Muslim countries do not allow Christianity to be practiced. In some places you risk a death sentence to proclaim you are Christian. Anyways number of followers means nothing. Read the bible and study teachings of other religions. If you start saying things like "this can't be right" often, then you should discount those teachings. Christianity just makes sense. In its most simple form, there is a God and we have can choose to worship Him. There is heaven and everlasting life for those who believe. Love everyone. Peace on earth.

each recognised religion has its reasons and stories genuinely to make people life better if not more but at least a better person for the society and the world.

More Christians (especially Roman Catholics) (Consider most of Europe and South America is Roman Catholic)
although not all of them are practicing i.e. go to church every Sunday.
The most active religion must be Islam. It has many devout followers.

what would happen to you if you stopped practising your faith in an Islamic country or Islamic environment? i was brought up a catholic I'm not a catholic anymore. could you do this, can you become an ex-Muslim, not without living in fear of your life or well being. that is why there are more practising Muslims. in the west we can choose to believe or not to believe. why would any self respecting god want followers who were believers because they lived in fear of their fellow man?
