Religions around the world

Today in class we learned about three different religions. The religions that we learned about were Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. They are similar but also very different. They all use different holy books to worship with. The number in worshippers also vary. Buddhism is a very popular religion with 500 million to 1.5 billion. Judaism only has 14-18 million followers. Hinduism is can be found anywhere but the majority live in Nepal and India. The people who worship Buddhism are called Buddhists. We also have to rank the number of worshippers around the world. Over all I am very fascinated with the variety of religions and how different some are.
