I would agree with your statistics not 100% b/c stats aren't always accurate or perfect, but I suppose that this is a close estimate. I guess some people cannot bare the truth.
GOD BLESS!!!!!

Where did you get the 2.1 billion figure? The stats I see make Islam and Christianity about par.
That's with Catholics and Proestants!
Secular, non-regious and agnostic 1+ billion! Gees that's WAY WAY above the figures I've seen!
The Figures I've seen show that close to 90% of the world is Religious (including Buddhist, which have no diety) and only 10% of the world is non-religous at best!

yes , i've seen that satatic , but u didn't complete the figure: see that from the magical google.
Author Samuel Huntington predicts that Islam will overtake Christianity early in the 21st century. By the year 2025, Islam will have 5% more adherents than will Christianity.
The U.S. Center for World Mission estimated in 1997 that Christianity's total number of adherents is growing at about 2.3% annually. This is approximately equal to the growth rate of the world's population. Islam is growing faster: about 2.9% and is thus increasing its market share. At this rate, Islam would surpass Christianity as the world's main religion by 2023 CE.
Most Christian sources predict that Christianity will retain its numerical lead over Islam beyond the year 2025. For example, futurist John Gary stated in 1997: "In no probable statistical scenario reaching out to the year 2200, does Islam surpass Christianity in absolute number of adherents."
end of the news!!!!
there was NO need for posting that stastical data , especially When u have no point out of it,

okay yes there are far more christian believers than there are for Islam....but i bet you didn't realize that Islam is the fastest growing religion once people really find out the truth about islam not the media related definition they convert....and ever since sept 11 so many ppl have loved Islam after researching it that they converted to Islam. And women also love islam because it is the one religion that has given women the most rights from education to voting.....women are equal in Islam....but if culture changes things thats a different story......

since Christianity began as a small Hebrew sect i fail to understand how the numbers of believers is relevant to the validity of Christianity or any other religion.
was Christianity less true when it was a small Hebrew sect? is it somehow more true now because the number of believers has increased? (increased mostly due to forced indoctrination, the undermining of indigenous cultures, the usurpation indigenous myths, gods and rituals, the suppression of rival faiths and copious amounts of begetting.)

in case you learn the features that are championed by potential of Christianity (servitude, weak point, submission, abstinence), you will discover they're all deplorable & self debasing. temporarily - Christianity is anti-human. each thing which makes us human is regarded on as EVIL. As Christians, you're to be spiritually crushed into submission & made to sense dependant on its "salvation". needless to say noone ever totally complies with its calls for - protecting them in bondage & constantly in debt to an offended & vengeful God who terrorizes you till demise. If it somewhat is not adequate to screw somebody up - i don't be attentive to what's.

Where is the question?
So what if Christians are more than Muslims. It doesn't make Christianity better than Islam. It just says it's been around longer...

uhm. 2.1 is not double 1.3 double 1.3 is actually 2.6... and I've been told (but obviously can be wrong) that christian numbers are on a decline. I don't think numbers should matter anyways, your faith in your god is what matters.

What a joke. You are freaked and wigged out because people won't listen to you unsubstantiated rant yet you won't post the link to the site where you got the "information".

Because it doesn't matter, about your numbers its what people believe that matters, and you shoudn't be so self righteous in thinking you are superior that is judging and a true christian does not judge his brother. Ask Jesus. Peace.
