Statistics of the world's religions are only very rough approximations. Aside from Christianity, few religions, if any, attempt to keep statistical records; and even Protestants and Catholics employ different methods of counting members.
| Rank | Religion | Members |
| 1. | Christianity | 2.3 billion |
| 2. | Islam | 1.8 billion |
| 3. | Unaffiliated | 1.2 billion |
| 4. | Hinduism | 1.1 billion |
| 5. | Buddhism | 500 million |
| 6. | Folk religions | 400 million |
| 7. | Other religions | 100 million |
| 8. | Judaism | 10 million |
