How many religions exist in the world? |
Answer
If you are asking how many different faiths there are around the world it depends totally on what you consider a faith. Is agnostic a faith? Is atheism a faith?
If you are looking for a number of faiths in Christianity. . . several years ago there were more than 30,000 Christian faith structures. The easiest way to answer your question is to look at faith structures around the world. Islam and Christianity are two of the larger faith systems. Again the Islamic faith system breaks down in many different belief systems. Judaism, for example, has many different faith structures based upon the belief or creed of the individual belief group.
All of this is a long way to come around to an answer. The 'correct answer' is tat the number of religions changes almost on a daily basis, but the overriding faith structure are manifold.
