In the 20th century study of comparative religion, major religious groups or "world religions" were divided up by adherence to a specific philosophy or theology. However, there is no consensus among researchers as to the best methodology for determining the religiosity profile of the world's population. A number of fundamental aspects are unresolved:

  • Whether to count "historically predominant religious culture[s]"
  • Whether to count only those who actively "practice" a particular religion
  • Whether to count based on a concept of "adherence"
  • Whether to count only those who expressly self-identify with a particular denomination
  • Whether to count only adults, or to include children as well
  • Whether to rely only on official government-provided statistics
  • Whether to use multiple sources and ranges or single "best source[s]"

Nonetheless, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are usually considered the respective top four.

How do the beliefs of various religions compare?
Q. Is there a website that compares the beliefs of the different religions? It would also be interesting to see how beliefs have changed over time. For example, 500 years ago the Christian religion believed the Earth was the center of the Universe and people could quote scripture to prove it. Now, that is not the predominant belief.

A. Well... you can say that all religion attribute things to God with no evidence or false claims. For example the Christians believe in the trinity. Islam gives you the only possible scientific description of God. [112:1] Proclaim, "He is the One and only GOD. [112:2] "The Absolute GOD. [112:3] "Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten. --- Also... [6:100] Yet, they set up beside GOD idols from among the jinns, though He is the One who created them. They even attribute to Him sons and daughters, without any knowledge. Be He glorified. He is the Most High, far above their claims. [6:101] The Initiator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have a son, when He never had a mate? He created all things, and He is fully aware of… [cont.]

What are the pros and cons of different religions?
Q. My dad is Jewish and my mom is Christian but lately I have not wanted to be into any religion because it's past seems really violent with the Holocaust, Christians getting fed to lions, people in other countries not having rights cause of their religion, and all the death and religious things int the world. I don't like all the people in the world saying their religion is the best and fighting to put so much religious teachings in public schools and also all the wars in mainly places in Asia religious differences cause. What are the pros and cons of your relgion and the real point of all religions? Please nothing mean.

A. Honestly man, get these organized religion pressures off your head. Believe what you want to be, whether you choose you believe in God or not, doesn't mean you have to throw yourself into a group that causes diversity between humans
