I love this idea for a post! I think it's great! I have great respect for other religions. People will believe who or what they want to. I am Catholic. I grew up with the religion.
Although I did want to mention something. You said Christianity is the top religion in the world. While many sources claim that to be true, statistics of the world's religioons are only very rough approximations. Aside from Christianinty, few religions, if any, attempt to keep statistical records; and even Protestants and Catholics employ different methods of counting members. Therefor, getting a correct say on which religion is the biggest/has more followers/etc is an almost impossible thing to do. From most sources, though, they will say that from what they've athered, which is again, not a very reliable resource, Christianity is only practiced by 33% of the world. Islam follows with a 21% while Non-religious (agnostic, athiest, etc) and Hinduism come in next with 16% and 14% respectivly.
Many people do believe Christianity is a top religioon in the world, but honestly, it isn't as large as most believe.
Just thought I'd add that in there...
In your absence,
my heart grows stronger.
In your presence,
I fall in love again.
