Notes

  1. See the adherents.com web page “Major Religions of the World Ranked by Number of Adherents” (http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html). The initial chart says 14 million, but the notes on this website cite the American Jewish Yearbook of 2000, which estimates that there are 13,191,500 Jews in the world.
