That is not an opinionated question. You cannot ask someone "in your opinion, what religion has the most followers?" This is a fact based question. One religion has more followers than the others. It's a matter of facts.
EDIT: Yay! I'm part of 2.35 percent!

I was under the impression that Hinduisn had the most followers. I recall reading that in an almanac for a school project last year. It said the country of India's population is so large, that Hinduism followers outnumber followers of any other major world religion. Perhaps the almanac didn't have up-to-date info.

Atheists tend to be a very small minority. Some sociologists have claimed that people have a natural tendency to believe in a god or gods or some sort of higher power. The claim (not sure if this is entirely true or not) that all the so-called "savage" tribes and nations we've encountered in recent memory either living or through archaeology believed in some sort of god or gods. |
