Answer 4

Absolutetly loads. There are of course the biggies like Christianity, Bhudists, Muslims, Hindus etc but many countries in Africa have tribes who all believe a different thing. Same in S America. Even within the biggies there are difefrent sects

Answer 5

I suppose there is absolutely no way of keeping track of this! There are even cults and sects that consider their own beliefs as religions.

Wikipedia has listed several religions. So has this website: http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html


Both sites state the approximate number of people adopting each religion.
