Buddhism continues to attract followers worldwide and is considered a major world religion. According to one source ([7]), "World estimates for Buddhists vary between 230 and 500 million, with most around 350 million." However, estimates are uncertain for several countries. According to one analysis[5], Buddhism is the fifth-largest religion in the world behind Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and traditional Chinese religion. The monks' order (Sangha), which began during the lifetime of the Buddha in India, is amongst the oldest organizations on earth.
As of 2006, adherents of Judaism numbered around 14 million followers,[1] making it the world's eleventh-largest organized religion.
With an estimated 2.1 billion adherents in 2001, Christianity is the world's largest religion.[3] It is the predominant religion in the Americas, Europe, Philippine Islands, East Timor, Australia, New Zealand and large parts of Africa (see Christianity by country). It is also growing rapidly in Asia, particularly in China and South Korea.[4].

The 'big three' isn't Christianity, Islam and Judaism; its Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. Some hindu's consider buddhism part of hinduism since that is where it come from.

I don't know if this answers your question or not, but, for the record, I'm a Christian.
