The world’s largest religion is Christianity. It is comprised of 33 percent of the world population, which is about two billion people. Other large world religions include Islam, Hinduism, Chinese, and Buddhism. Out of two billion Christians, nearly half are represented by the Roman Catholic Church, led by the Pope, with the rest being followers of the Eastern Orthodox Church of various Protestant sects.

Throughout history, most notably the East-West Schism and Protestant reformation. Christianity has been the world’s largest religion for about 1,600 years. Before that, the world’s largest religion was Hinduism, which is so old that its beginnings are not very clear.

One reason why they have so many followers is that there are different sectors to Christianity. Though they may all believe in the same thing and follow the same word of God, their practices and traditions in how they worship are different. Some examples of the sectors include Baptist, Catholic, and Protestant.
