Depending on who you ask:
Christians make up between 33 and 35% of the world's population.
Muslims make up between 15 and 20%
Hindus and "non-religious" are virtually tied for 3rd at about 15%
Yes, Christianity and Islam are currently the two most popular.

An article in Reader’s Digest ‘Almanac’, year book 1986, gave the statistics of the increase of percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in ‘The Plain Truth’ magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235 percent, while Christianity had increased only by a mere 47 percent. May one ask, which war took place in this century which converted millions of people to Islam?

Should say "the most long-last religions".

both in terms of population and acceptance they do outnumber others. whats more important is people from ALL Faiths get to know each other keeping differences apart.
