I'll assume you mean the five largest religions in the world.
In descending order,
1) Christianity
2) Islam
3) Hinduism
4) Buddhism
5) Chinese folk religions
However, if you were to include atheists, agnostics, irreligious people, and nontheists as a religion, it would go as thus:
1) Christianity
2) Islam
3) Atheism, Agnosticism, Nontheism, Irreligious
4) Hinduism
5) Buddhism

Christianity, Jewish, Islam, Buddahism, Hinduism, I can't remember the correct way to spell what religion some of the far Eastern countries are, I want to say Shinto, but I know that's wrong. I certainly don't intend to offend, sorry.
