Nope. Your wrong.

Islam is number two, Christianity or to be more specific, Catholicism, is the most practiced religion world wide. Islam being number two, still has much fewer followers than Christianity. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US, but don't jump to conclusions because it's the "fastest growing" because many Muslims from other parts of the world are comming to the US--not neccisarily coveting a huge number of Americans. Islam has a strong influence in Europe, and of course the middle east.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in this millenium. The status is 1 out 4 people of the world is a Muslim. There are many religion now on earth so 1.5 billion is no small feat.
Thus 1 out of 4 is Muslim is considered ISLAM is most followed.

added: The question is MOST FOLLOWED not FOLLOWERS.

Paganism - all those who worship someone or something other than God through His Holy Son - either knowingly or unknowingly practice some form of paganism. The foundations for Kabbalistic Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholicism, many "Christian" sects, major Eastern Religions, etc., all stem from Babylonian / Egyptian pagan sources. But don't take my word for it. A little Wikipedia research will reveal this truth.

According to Adherents.com (which I find to be a balanced statistical-type web site), the religion with the most followers in the world is Christianity, with about 2.1 billion followers. Next comes Islam, with 1.3 billion.

well..most of the people in the world think they belong to or follow some religion but they don't follow the actual rules and orders of that religion.. rather create and explain their "own religion" for the sake of " true religion"...whatever it may be...
