julieann081 rated 1 hour ago- 2005 religions ranked by size (plus some other information - interesting site even if it is old. From the page: "#20 Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand"

- Thanks for making this info available. It's great to have it all in one place. I appreciate the work that went into it so we can access it so easily.

- This data also includes China, since its split into Christianity and Muslim. But its cool to see how much the Agnostics are increasing. Last estimate there where below Buddhists.

- current estimates of the number of people who have at least a minimal level of self-identification as adherents of the religion.

- These are estimates with a Christian bias. Just consider the number people in the world who are Chinese, then ask yourself how in the world can these statistics be correct? I bet they didn't even collect data in China, or even have any native Chinese sources. Sorry, but I am very skeptical. I basically believe these numbers were essentially pulled out of the air. (I apologize for my bias.)

- This is a comparison of major world religions. I do plan to use this one in World History class tomorrow. I just finished teaching about Buddhism and Hinduism. This will wake up some of my students who believe these are in the past and no longer exist.

- From the page: "Major Religions of the World Ranked by Number of Adherents (Sizes shown are approximate estimates, and are here mainly for the purpose of ordering the groups, not providing a definitive number. This list is sociological/statistical in perspective.)" Interesting. Could debate statistics (as usual) but broadly enlightening. Christopher

- Major Religions of the World Ranked by Number of Adherents. I knew some of this information already, but there is some new and interesting stuff on this page as well. For instance, I didn't know there were half a million Scientologists in the world. When the aliens come for Tom Cruise, I hope they bring enough flying saucers for all his fellow adherents. ;-)
