Greetings!
The world today has over 8.5 billion people. About 85% of this population, roughly 6.8 billion people, identify with one form of religion or another. The major religions include Christianity with about 31% to 32% of the world populatuon; Islam with 24% to 25%; Hinduism has about 13% to14%; and Buddhism has about 7% of the population. “Traditional” or “Indigenous” religions account for about 4% to 6%. This includes “African Traditional Religions (ATRs)”
The remaining 15% of the world population fall into the categories of “Unaffiliated folks,” including atheists, agnostics, and people who identify as “nothing in particular.” Some of tthem are known as the secular, spiritual-but-not-religious. Some are just not bothered to think about all of that.
