Artvoice Blogs » Echo Chamber: New You Could Have Read Anywhere

As you read down, you find this interesting item. It has been my understanding that Islam, like Christianity, has numerous divisions.

"Islam has surpassed Catholicism as the world’s leading religion,
according to Vatican officials. Roman Catholics account for 17.4 percent (1.1 billion) of the world’s population, while Muslims comprise 19.2 percent (1.3 billion), a number that continues to rise. The total for all Christians of all denominations is roughly 2.1 billion, or a third of the world’s population. “For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us,” said Monsignor Vittorio Formenti. He, of course, was neglecting the first 200,000 years of human history when he made that statement."
