Between 29 and 30% of the world is Christian
19 to 23% is Islamic
About 16% is Atheist or Non-religious
7 to 23% is Buddhist
Approximately 14% is Hindu
About 4% are Animist
About 1% fall in the African traditional category.
About 0.2% are Judaic
Less than 1% is Other.

Which of these do you think pose the greatest threat to Christianity?
