Religion

Today in class, on January 4th, we started out the class by doing a website that showed quotes from either the Quran or the Bible. That took a long time because we had to get less than 4 wrong. The five major religions in the world are Christian, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, and Buddhism. The CIA Worldfact Book states the percentage of the population of that religion: Christians 31.4%, Islamic (Muslim) 23.2%, Hindu 15%, Buddhist 7.1% and Judaism (Jewish) is 0.2%. The numbers are fairly close to the percentages on the website adherents.com when they are compared. On this website, Christians are 33%, Islamic 21%, Hindu 14%, Buddhist 6%, and Jewish 0.22%. All of these numbers slightly differ from one another but none of them have a huge gap in numbers. The biggest difference is a 1.8% decline between Muslims which isn't a drastic change.  The numbers will continue to change like they have been for many years. For example, the number of Jews have changed largely from before the Holocaust.
