"Christianity is the oldest and the most popular religion on this planet. It was founded by Jesus Christ in somewhere around 27 AD. Christianity is also the oldest Abrahamic Religion."

Also IIRC Islam is the fastest growing religion unfortunately.

^^^Well their opinions may be contrary to yours (and mine), but i'm more interested in the numbers themselves.

1 - The main character/idea/theme would be a phenomenon of great power.

2 - Wrap it in stories inspiring awe, fear and hope. Include tales of individuals dealing with this phenomenon so people have characters they can more easily relate to.

3 - An *inspired* set of rules on how the masses should interact with this phenomenon, with each other, and in general how to live.

I regard it as the most important feature. Religion, philosophy, even politics: a lot of this is abstract, heady stuff. But the one thing that is concrete is our behavior, how we treat each other.

Yeah that's definitely questionable. Judaism is the oldest Religion in the world and the first Abrahamic Religion. And yeah, Islam is the fastest growing Religion due to birth rates.

Treat each other, or how the religion's representatives want ppl to behave.
