Well, besides the fact that National Geographic and Washington Post have ackwnoledged that Islam is the fastest growing religion, If u were to pick the largest sect of Christianity and compare it with the largest of Islam, I think you would find more Muslims. Anyway, number ain't a big deal. I'm a Muslim and proud of it.

- number of followers:
Christianity 1.8 billions
Islam 1.4 billions
hindu 0.9 billion

- Islam is the fastest growing religion. it appeared 6 centuries after christianity but it will take only 60 years (or less) to surpass it in the number of followers.

-according to the number of followers practicing their religion, Islam comes first (hindu second and chrisitianity third).

I think you can find a good information in one of the following two religious sites:
http://www.sultan.org
http://www.geocities.com/wisamzaqoot

good luck

Christianity is the largest.

Hmm... Islam is the fastest growing religion you say? Ever wonder why there is a fast growing number of terrorist attacks? Just a thought...

Christianity has 2.1 billion members. Islam has 1.3 billion. There have been some claims that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world, but that has been contested and disputed.

chirstianity has been around the longest, and by sheer numbers over time has the most followers....

i would assume each religion thinks it is the most popular
