Yup.
Something like 2.2 Billion are Christian (31.5%) and 1.6 Billion are Muslim (23.2%).
However Judaism only comes in at 14 million (0.2%)

Wow, I just realized Non-religious (16.3%) beats Hinduism (15%). That's surprising.

Actually there are 4 Abrahamic Faiths
Jews
Sabeeans (Baptizers)
Christians
Muslims

The Sabeeans are virtually extinct there exists remnants of 2 groups each claiming to be sabeeans. But they are definetly unrelated seperate groups.
Some Christian theologians believe the Sabeeans were a sect of Judaism as John the Baptist was a Baptizer (Sabeean)

I do stuff
Both Christians and Muslims have gone by the slogan, “convert or die”. It sounds pretty persuasive to me. Quick, where do I sign up?

you always post the same question to me " therefore" ?
it's become habit ?

anyways this Abrahamic DIR , I try to know how many his followers just to know , why "therefore " ?
I'm just trying to determine whether or not you attach some significance to these particular statistics.

The thing is that Christians actively evangelize, I think Muslims might, as well. I don't think many other religions go and try and convert others to their faith.

The big advantage with Christianity and Islam is that they are not tied to any one culture or ethnic group as religion usually was in the ancient world. They go even further in that they claim not only to be open to all, but intended for all which was rather unique.

Christianity and Muslims actively go out and try to convert people. Whilst many Eastern Religions (generally speaking of course) tend to just worship in peace and usually don't care what religion their neighbor happens to follow. I mean even in Australia, where religion seems to stay out of most conversations as much as possible, you have to put up with people evangelizing to you. And I must say, whilst their heart may be in the right place, it's often quite off putting.

Christian 31.5%
Islam 23.2% fastest growing religion today.
Judism 00.2%
54.9% of the world population. Thought Judism was much larger.

I am not afraid that you will cause a threat by joining together! I wish you would.

I wish too , There is/was just one problem , which is i believe main cause of all the voilence that done by some Muslims or against Muslims, it's Palestine/Israel conflict , since Palestians and Israelis had no warranty peace .

there is no real peace under this :

so let's deal what we deal before, and breaking deals ,this is what make it's so long .
