Okay, this Top 10 list is of the world’s religions with the most adherents. The list is sourced from a book called “The Top 10 of Everything 2008.” I found the book in the bargain bin at Barnes and Noble and since I’m always on my quest to beat my wife at Jeopardy, I thought it would be a good source. Some of the below I would have expected until we get to numbers 4, 6 and 10. Chinese folk religions? And Spiritists? What the heck are those? The list shows the religion and number of adherents.

1. Christianity, 2,135,000,000
2. Islam, 1,314,000,000
3. Hinduism, 870,000,000
4. Chinese folk religions, 405,000,000
5. Buddhism, 379,000,000
6. Ethnic Religions, 256,000,000
7. New religions, 108,000,000
8. Sikhism, 25,000,000
9. Judaism, 15,000,000
10. Spiritists, 13,000,000
11. West Virginia Rattlesnake Worshippers, 132

Okay, so I just added the last one but it makes about as much sense to me as some of the others. I’m sure anyone reading this list is probably also looking for some great educational toys so check out my store’s list of best selling toys here. Thanks!
