The last official count was in 2001, there was 1,018,257,000 over the last few years, increase has been small so lets say ... 1,100,000,000. The poplulation of the world is 6,692,030,277. Divide it together and *100 gives you 16.44% to two decimal places.

About 33% (for all Christians). Go to http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html for other religions. The 17% figure is for the U.S., not the world. There are an estimated 1.1 billion Catholics worldwide.
