It's a trick question. Because it's all a matter of faith. Some people will believe anything that makes them feel good, and religion is the prime example. I have family members who believe in the Morman faith, and I've never read anything less believable than The Book of Morman.

That's pretty easy. There's only one religion that believes Jesus was the messiah or son of God. Obviously there are many more religions in the world.

As far as more people, the one religion mentioned above is not the single largest religion in the world. I don't have the statistics in front of me but, I think there are several religions that have more followers than Christianity.

As far as I can assertain Christainity is the largest religion in the world today, just ahead of Buddhism. The vast majority of religions believe in one God. It's therefore easy to depict that "one God" as the same. So, the major religious beliefs all pray to the same God. Yet only one believes salvation comes from his son.

Now, just for fun, let's say you are Satan. And you're really pissethed that your enemy, (God), has all these followers worshiping Him, and you want to devise a plot to confuse and disrupt his superiority. What would you do?

The number 1 religion world-wide, in terms of membership, is Islam. They are much more devoted than Christians and many who claim to be Christians don't attend church. You could say that many who claim to be Christians do attend church, as well. And btw, Christianity includes Catholicism which makes up the majority of its members.

Where is the best place to wage war against your enemy, from the outside or the inside?

And actually Christianity has nothing to do with going to church though.
It is all about a relationship.

hmmm. i'm a major league ballplayer making more money than me and my wife and kids, and their kids, and their kids could possibly spend in their lifetimes. i have the option to make even more money where i enjoy living, play for a contender, and the community loves me. OR, i could go somewhere else, with unlimited unknowns, and make (enter your number here) more than my current club has offered me.

gee, what should i do?

These are the numbers I found in my search. I have no idea if they are accurate, or if it even matters.

World population 6.8 billion

Christianity 2 billion - 2.2 billion
Buddhism 1.9 billion
Islam 1.57 billion
Hinduism 900 million - 1 billion
Irreligion 300 - 500 million

Total 4.65 billion - 6.8 billion

Where is the beast place to wage war? I think if we're talking about God and Satan then there is no outside to consider. I might be wrong.

If there was then a strongly Christian Basketball player who would play for the Nets, they would have Manhattan surounded.
