The first two largest religious groups are Christianity (2 billion) and Islam (1.8 billion) though it appears that Islam is growing more rapidly than Christianity.
The unaffiliated make up the third largest "religious" group world wide. 1.2 billion people identify themselves “no religious affiliation.” The unaffiliated moniker is given to individuals who identify themselves as secular, agnostic, non-religious, or atheists. About 50 percent of this group are theists but not religious. Humanists are in this category as well along with millions of younger women and men who self-define themselves as SBNR (Spiritual but not religious). With the easy access to information, the unaffiliated group will continue to grow as people look more closely at traditional religious teachings.
