It was said overseas in Africa that the Jehovah's Witnesses were the most alike of all the religions. To go in one building in an african country was the same as any other country.
Or in any other country in the world.
Catholics and Prostants are very different. In Mexico a Babtist chiristian church was killing chickens in a basket while danceing around the room. With blood going in every direction. This person telling me the story was upset that it was nothing like the Babtist church he went to in TExas.
It was like a pagan ritual like nothing he had ever seen before.
The Catholic church will tell you the alters and flowers and idols are very different than the ones used in the USA.
The Mormans believe that the US is the holy land. Most Africans felt that they looked down on them.
The Catholic and Prostant Churches allowed them to do cerminal cutting for a funeral and when someone dies the widow has to have sex with the living male relatives.
There was a lot of voodo and Ghosts and spiritual tales of demons possessing people.
ONe declared it was nothing like any church service he had ever seen in the US.
so of those I guess the Witnesses would be the ones on a global scale that believe alike. It is amazing that there are so many of them in Africa.

Catholic,definitely. Catholicism is not only present in most of the world but it is still spreading. Catholicism is the only form of Christianity that has a really global organization.
Also, LDS is polytheistic and Neo Gnostic andJWs are bi-theistic and Neo-Arian in their theology so they would be not under the Christian category theologically-sociologically,Yes, but not theologically

Easily Catholic. Not that I agree with the methods of spreading Catholicism over the centuries.
Next would be the Church of England (Episcopalian) and its various off-shoots (Congregationalists, Baptists, Methodists and Quakers.)
