Religion

Around the world, religion is something that all countries and people have in common. Every religion is different in its own way with thousands of beliefs, stories, traditions and much more. I was reading today a website that talks about all the different types of religions that are practiced throughout the world. I found it interesting to see how diverse the world really is, and also to see how each religion is separated by the people that practice it. The most common religion in the world is Christianity. About 33% of the people pratice it which is 2.1 billion. The next is Islam 21%-- 1.5 billion people practicing it. Third comes Secular/Nonreligious/ Agnostic/ Atheist at about 1.1 billion people practicing it. After many more religions following in the list, the least common religion is Scientology. This comes out to only .36% which is 500 thousand.
I found this list of statistics really interesting to see the variety and it kind of showed that religion seems to be a popular thing amongst many people.
