You could also look at it as the fourth most popular religion...

  1. Irreligious
  2. Catholic
  3. Protestant
  4. Muslim

The article decided that "Catholic" and "Protestant" are the same religion, and that "Irreligious" was not a religion. But not everyone shares those views.

    You could also make the argument that Christians and Jews and Muslims are all Abrahamists but different sects.

      Christianity is a single religion. Catholics and Protestants are just branches.

      According to you. But yours is not the only opinion on the subject.

      it's preposterous.

      Not in the slightest. All of the Abrahamic religions use the same Old Testament and then have additional texts. And Catholics and Protestants, just like Muslims and Jews, do not have the same number of additional texts.

        This isn't an opinion, and ironically the list you've written doesn't distinguish between shia and sunni in Islam. It's not even coherent. Your argument is absurd.

        You could certain distingiush between Shia and Sunni if you were so inclined.

        Catholics and Protestants do not have different numbers of "additional texts". There is only the bible.

        Ah, that's where you're wrong. The Catholic Bible has 73 books. The Protestant Bible has 66 books. The two do not agree on what does and doesn't constitute "The Bible," so they use different Bibles.

        Ask a Catholic that.

        But Abraham served his guests meat and dairy. Not kosher.

        I looked that one up. Apparently it's a messy question.

        I'm surprised number one isn't cannabisism.

        They may be busting up all the Christians by communion, and not counting "no religious affiliation".

        1. Catholic
        2. Islam
        3. United Church of Canada
        4. Anglican

        BECAUSE OF JEWS

        Outnumbered by Christians by more than 10 to 1, and by people with no religious affiliation by 7 to 1.

        They're probably a few years from enacting Sharia law at a federal level.

        That's basically within a generation or two at current birth rates.

        Yup, because jet199 is a Kike.

            It will be interesting to watch the progressive left come to realize the consequences of allowing mass immigration of a group that holds by and large the polar opposite of their beliefs.

            But there are way more Indians, even though Hindus & Sikhs appear to be outnumbered by Muslims. I don't know what most Indians would report as.

            Who cares. Jews are flooding European countries while playing both sides.

            We could also have lived in a universe in which the first guy spreading Islam was just stabbed by a guy with a knife. I am just saying that things could have been better. Instead, we now have a billion idiots on this planet. (For other reasons, we have about 7 billion idiots, but still.)
