ReligionFacts site

June 12, 2007

Found a cool site via del.icio.us called Religionfacts.com

The ReligionFacts “Big Religion Chart” is an attempt to summarize all the complexities of religions and belief systems into tiny little boxes on a single, quick-reference comparison chart. Yes, this is impossible. As we always warn with our comparison charts, this is no substitute for reading about religions in greater detail, talking with religious adherents, etc. But this religion comparison chart can (hopefully) be a useful and accessible way to “get the gist” of some unfamiliar groups and compare basic beliefs and practices of the world’s religions and belief systems.

I always thought that buddhism was the largest religion in the world, but its not even in the top 5.

1.  Christianity - 2.2 Billion (not including Christian Science, Moromism, seven-day adventist or Jehova’s Witness)

2.  Islam - 1.3 Billion

3.  Atheism - 1.1 Billion

4.  Hinduism - 900 million

5.  Chinese Religion - 394 million
