OK, so if we are going to get into the fray, we need to know who we are dealing with.

The Christian Science Monitor, in a 1998 article “Top 10 Organized Religions in the World,” provides a listing of the 10 largest “organized religions”:

#          Religion                 Number of Adherents

1          Christianity           1.9 billion

2          Islam                       1.1 billion

3          Hinduism               781 million

4          Buddhism               324 million

5          Sikhism                   19 million

6          Judaism                  14 million

7          Bahá’í Faith           6.1 million

8          Confucianism       5.3 million

9          Jainism                  4.9 million

10        Shinto                    2.8 million

Some would say this is an impressive list of believers, but we think this is a better example of world wide, mass delusion.
