The reason I asked was because Judaism is a lot older than the other faiths and is a very influential religion for it to only have 15 million adherents

yeah, that sounds way off. there must be more than 10-12 million in the US alone.

Because there really aren't that many. Consider that the population of the US is only three hundred million; it's hard for there to be hundreds of millions of anyone, especially when a large amount of them are concentrated in a small country.

I have seen the population figures for those of the Jewish faith as being between 12-15 million worldwide. That is less than one-quarter of 1% of the world's population.

There are only 400 million Americans including Jews and everyone else--where would these "hundreds of millions" of Jews be exactly?

Actually the Number is closer to 14 Million.

Because those stats are roughly correct.
the Jewish faith has the fewest adhereants of the "major" faith like Christianity and Islam.
It seems like more because of the war of religions.

I can think there are hundreds of millions of people dancing on the surface of the sun. That doesn't make it true, though...

They are not counting the second battalion only the front line troops.
Wait until they decide to add the Artillery and Air force.

It only seems like it because a lot of Jews are very successful so you hear about them a lot.
(I know! I'm a Jew! it's in our genes to succeed!!!)
