Jahnava Nitai Das Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 I just did a couple searches on the internet to see what was the relative representation of different religions on the net. I used google to make the searches. These are the results for each word: hinduism - 329,000 sites hindu - 986,000 sites buddhist - 834,000 sites buddhism - 683,000 sites Islam - 2,030,000 sites Muslim - 1,260,000 sites Christian - 10,800,000 sites Christianity - 1,760,000 sites Jewish - 3,110,000 sites Judaism - 656,000 sites Gita - 192,000 sites Koran - 147,000 sites Quran - 215,000 sites Bible - 6,170,000 sites Torah - 491,000 sites Overall it seems Hinduism is the least represented among the major world religions. I would guess the majority of Buddhist sites would be in Chinese, and thus their actual figures would be much higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauracandra Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 Somewhat related (ie. religious statistics) here is an interesting web site I found several months ago: www.adherents.com Basically it is a site that tries to break out various statistics on religions in the world. Check it out and let me know what you think. Gauracandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
