I just was curious. It is the "dominant" religion where I live (SC), I was wondering if it was the main practiced religion in other areas. I know other cultures practice different religions, but how many people are Christians?

A little over two billion, or about a third of the World's population today. Not sure about the stats for the U.S.
But from my vantage point, I'd consider only a small fraction of that number to be 'true' Christians... if you get my drift.
Peace be with you.

I don't know what percentage but if you get right down to true Christianity, I do mean TRUE, it is much smaller than most people think.
Where I live in Pa. it is considered the Bible belt of Pa. Where I grew up 3 hours away in Northeast Pa, the big religion is roman catholic. Some would add rc's to the number of Christians but I don't because I know better, their so far from truth that its scary.
If I were to hazzard an honest guess, I would say less than 30% are the real deal, the rest don't truly understand what real Christianity is.

In the USA the proportion is a shade under 80%. The USA is by far the most religious country in the first world.
Almost 50% of the population believe that Genesis is the literal truth. Those quoting lower percentages usually do so to try and prove somehow that Christians are a persecuted minority, they are not.

Something like 60%. But that's just people who call themselves Christian. Only about 10% of that 60% acutally practice Christianity (read the Bible, pray, etc.). I believe mormonism is starting to become the dominant religion.

Approx 2.1 billion people on earth are Christians. Approx 1.3 are Muslim, 14 million are Judaism. I guess that would be a little over a third.

it depends what you mean
more than 1 billion or so people in the workd are 'Christian' if you count Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant together
if you mean Bible believing... it would be less and it would be togh to measure
