The religions from biggest to smallest are:
The World Factbook gives the world population as 7,095,217,980 (July 2013 est.)
CHRISTIAN 31.5% [founded out of Judaism 1st Century AD]
MUSLIM 23.2% [founded 7th Century AD]
HINDU 13.8% [no founder (!). Vedas written from 14th century BC to 300BC]
BUDDIST 6.77% [founded late 6th century BC]
SIKH 0.35% [founded 15th century BC]
JEWISH 0.22% [founded by Abraham 19th Century BC]
BAHA'I 0.11% [founded 1844AD]
OTHER RELIGIONS 10.95% [minor religion that believe in God. SEE NOTE BELOW]
AGNOSTICS 9.66% [Believe that can't tell whether God exists or not. SEE NOTE BELOW]
ATHEISTS 2.01% [Believe that God does not exist. SEE NOTE BELOW]
ALL religons come either from a belief in or reaction against something. It does NOT have to have anything
A religion is not restricted to just having a belief in some kind of afterlife : it is a belief in something as a way of life. It is not just a belief system - it is anything a person strongly believes in, worships and adores and make their religion : such as:
- an Australian Rules football team (for example, "Collingwood")
- a soccer team [for example, Leeds United)
- a motor vehicle (for example, Bugatti)
- a TV or film star (for example, Sean Connery)
- a scientist (for example, Isaac newton
- a politician (for example, Winston Churchill)
Believers in a particular religion/quasi-religion/ thing can be quite antagonistic towards those who don't believe exactly what they do.
