Islam isn't one single religion unlike what that stats say. It is also composed of sects, specifically the Sunni and the Shi'ite.
Since it is quite rare (or probably impossible) to have millions of people agree on one thing, most (if not all) of the major religions have evolved to have different sects. Buddhism has the Theraveda and the Mahayana, and Judaism has the Hasidic Judaism, Reform Judaism, etc. So, Christianity is not the only one that have sects.

Anyways, the religion (not sect -- there is a big difference) that has the most followers is Christianity, which includes Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, Mormons, and any independent churches that beleive Jesus is the messiah.

If you have a PDF reader such as Acrobat Reader, click here for the statistics.

Christianity (including protestants, roman catholics, born again, Jehova's witness, etc) has the most members.

BUT, Islam is gaining more population simply because men can have multiple wives.

Islam too has many sects. The most populous would be Sunni Islam, then Shia. I'd say the most populous sect in the world would be Roman Catholicism.

Christianity is still number one. Islam is next.

But this is also one reason for it to be less popular, especially for women.

The Religion of Life. Nobody wants to be dead, although some are willing to be dead... still, all for the sake of it.

No, i can't!
and you can just throw human cloning out the window! have you seen "the six day"? it's a perfect example how human cloning can screw up someone's life. And that movie shows you the "good" ending. What if it got extreamly worse?

anyway, let's get back to the original topic, shall we?

OT

And Man created Man in his own image and likeness. Kinda creepy, isn't it, man being able to create man in his own image and likeness using genetics, biotechnology, etc.?
