Maybe you should check the world fact book and educate yourself, based on population the top 5 religions in the world include Judiasm. Of course though, being the "ugly American" that I am, facts mean more to me then attempts at insults on here.

No its time for you to educate yourself. The UN listed Islam, Christianity, Buddism, and Hinduism in their questionnaire. The smallest of these are the Buddist with 360 million adherents. Judaism has 14 million adherents and is half the size of the Siks. So much for your stinking facts.

Christianity: 2 billion

Islam: 1.3 billion

Hinduism: 900 million

Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 850 million

Buddhism: 360 million

Chinese traditional religion: 225 million

primal-indigenous: 150 million

Juche: 19 million

Spiritism: 14 million

Judaism: 14 million
