Christianity is the single largest religion in the world, and its largest denomination is Roman Catholicism.
But the combined groups of Protestant denominations is larger than the number of Catholics, and Christians do not make up a majority of the world's population.

Humanism.
Dead serious.
Look up what the meaning of religion is. What exactly does that word mean and entail? Then what exactly would make up a religion? It doesn't have to include a belief in God.
