More muslims than christians

[Sultan Nedim]

If you have the number of all sunni (majority in islam)and all catholics ( i think they are the majority) you will have more muslims than any christian group,

My theory,check it if im right rep me

[Caledonian Rhyfelwyr]

Well for total Christians there are 2.1 billion, and 1.5 for Muslims, according to wikipedia

IIRC Sunni's are 85% of all Muslims, and Catholics are something like 2/3 of all Christians...

[Каие]

Nope, because Muslims aren't one group either. Catholics still outnumber Sunnis I believe.

Are there more Sunnis than Catholics then??

[MaximiIian]

Are there more Sunnis than Catholics then??

No...he just said the opposite. O__o

[Orko]

Catholics outnumber Sunnis, I am almost positive about that. But he whole of Islam outnumbers Catholicism slightly, I believe.

[Manoflooks]

There are about a billion catholics(read a book about the vatican), and if 85% of muslims are sunni, that is more.

[Gaidin]

I so totally missed the ethics discussion. Is this only about statistics?

[Babur]

@OP

ummm no

there are more Catholics

What would the numbers prove, anyways? That Islam is correct and Christianity is not?

I believe that's the implication, yes.

Silly, innit?

Oh so very silly. I could care less. Everyone else does their thing, I do mine, we're cool.

It would prove nothing at all. It would show a demographic shift.

I expect that in the future(100 years or so) Atheism would be the predominant "religion". I mean, in Europe and America Christianity is already collapsing and more people are now atheists.

you underestimate the stubbornness of humanity

[The Despondent Mind]

Do you people forget Orthodox?
It's not like they are a sect or something.
Even if there is more Muslims, Christians rule(d) the world.

[Shadowcry]

I wonder when the Dharmic and pagan religions will take back the world, that would be awesome!

[MaximiIian]

The idea of any one religion ruling the world is foolish, offensive, and idiotic. It is inequality and intolerance in their most purest meaning.

And, as a neo-pagan, I am personally irritated by the notion that our religions should "take back" the world or anything similar. We exist and have chosen our beliefs simply to revive interest in and the practice of earth-based religions for those others who choose to do so as well. Not to force others to conform to our beliefs and practices, or to return the world to the situation of Pre-Christian civilization. I think we can all agree that the Iron Age was a crap-sack time to live in. No thank you, we choose to take polytheism and move forward with it, not backwards.

I apologise for any apparent anger in my outburst. However, I feel that, though one might be attempting to voice support of modern paganism through statements such as yours, it is actually doing more harm to modern polytheistic revival movements. Most neopagans and polytheistic reconstructionists aim for religious pluralism and mutual toleration, not exclusivity and conformity.

[Comrade the Colonel]

there are more christians than muslims.

[Hookah Smoking Caterpiller]

Don't worry, America is ensuring that for the next 100 years there will be more christians than muslims, by good-old fasioned ethnic cleansing.
