According to the website ReligiousTolerance.org there are twelve major world religions (each with over three million followers): Baha'i Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, Vodun (Voodoo). Of these, the five largest North American religions are Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism.
Josh McDowell and Don Stewart, in their Handbook of Today's Religions, deal with Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism in their list of non-Christians religions.
They define religion as "that aspect of one's experience in which he attempts to live harmoniously with the power or powers he believes are controlling the world" (p. 11).
