Does scientology count?
2006-09-15 15:06:35 · 11 answers · asked by Anonymous in Society & Culture ➔ Religion & Spirituality
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Bahai, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Confucianism, Taoism, & Shinto.
Scientology & Wicca are flourishing, but, cannot be counted at this time because they are both only around 50 years old.

Money, although not recognized as a religion, is what the majority of the world worships, obeys, center their life around and teach their children to do the same. But it does have all the characteristics of a religion and is even the basis for some recognized religions.

u cannot say which are main religions & which r minor . because each religion has its own followers & naturally they think their religion is the main religion.in most of the ancient religions there is no conversion. either u r born in that religion or u don't belong to thet religion.but christianity & islam are modern religions . so, these religions came to existance starting with conversions.that is why these two religions go on ( rather people who belong to these religions )glorifying themselves to attract others.that is how u find more christians & muslims than any other people.
