The obvious answer must be; Beside Islam, Christianity, Jewry and what other monotheistic religion there may be. Simple question, simple answer. I love this new awakening... Where does it fit in?

I couldn't be bothered to read all the above posts, so I hope I'm not repeating someone else's opinion. It seems to me that the ultimate issue here is not how many adherents we have. Rather, I see the issue as our being overlooked and excluded. After all, I think we all know that there are more than enough of us to make a good statistical showing on that chart. Sometimes the best solutions come from looking to your childhood and thinking "How would I have handled this back then?" If you do that, the answer becomes obvious. We bake our OWN pie, and don't invite those other snobs. And we fill it with beer and candy. Now, I know I know I’m a little late in responding to this, but I just came across it.

By my last count we were near 62 billion... a number I'll accept on faith alone. As for collecting donations, I'm all for that. I'll send a few $ towards an organized effort to build and maintain a galleon though I demand it have a multitude of cannons that can shoot meatballs.

The major religion in Norway (oh, my sweet father country) is Protestantism, and so we've got a National Church. Everybody who confirm their Christian beliefs, becomes a member of this National Church - the ritual of Confirmation (Note: directly translated from the Norwegian term 'konfirmasjon', since I don't know the correct English one) include receiving vast amounts of money from your relatives and other family members, hence 80 or 90 percent of the population is a member of the NC. A funny thing the NC did in one of the last years of the nineties, was to include, and get this, everyone not being a member of any other religious group in their member list, since their archives had just been burnt down. That means I was a member until recently, although I never had anything to do with the church. About numbers being misused by religions.

If i can't be a pastafarian without being ridiculed, then maybe this country has to rethink its standards.
