You could combine all the sacred texts of those religions and philosophies and they would not come close to matching the number of Bibles in the world. The Bible is the world's most widely distributed and best selling book in history. No other scripture has been studied, researched, read, and treasured by so many people all over the world.
Confucianism is a Chinese philosophy that presently has about 6 million students in just 6 countries.
Buddhism is primarily a Chinese polytheistic religion with about 400 million practitioners.
Zoroasterians number about 190,000, half of them are in India.
Tu'er Shen or Tu Shen is a Chinese deity who manages the love and sex between homosexuals.
The Mari is an ethnic religion of a small group of people in the Mari El region of Russia. Many have converted to Christianity but still practice some of their traditional rituals.
The Hellenes is an ancient Greek pagan belief with about 2000 followers world wide.
Kemitism is a contemporary revival of an ancient Egyptian pagan belief. The number of practitioners is too small to even be recorded.
The Church of Thor (Nordic), Nahua (Aztec), Romuva (Baltic/Lithuania), Tengriism (Mongols), Nova Roman (not a religion), are all pagan beliefs, most of which are dead.
Christianity, Judaism and Islam are the world's only monotheistic religions, two of which are based on the Holy Bible, and all of which recognize Abraham as the patriarch of their faith. All three of these monotheistic religions acknowledge Jesus. For Christians, He is the Messiah, for Jews, He is an imposter, and in Islam, He is a prophet. There are 2.2 billion Christians, 15 million practicing Jews, and 1.6 billion Muslims on earth. Almost 4 billion people, 60% of the world's population, acknowledge His existence.
