Following up our articles on Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism, this chart provides another look at these religions. It’s interesting to compare these statistics to those of our own country. In India, Hinduism is the predominant faith and accounts for 83% of the population, while only 2% considers itself Christian; in the United States, Christianity is the most common religion, counting about 76% of the population as its own.
