I'm refferring to pre Moaist China.

The whole subject it s bit flaky according to Wiki:

"Statistics on religious adherence are difficult to gather and often
contradictory; statistics for the change of religious adherence are even
more so, requiring multiple surveys separated by many years using the
same data gathering rules."

I'd say it just doesn't matter who is number one or number two or
whatever.

What I'd like to know is how many people play some guitar every day
not who prays to whom every day. The assumption being that playing
guitar every day makes us a member of the "Guitar" religion even if we
don't know it!

My claim Buddhism was the largest religion, was a remark intended to
inform Dicerus as to the meaning of the word cult.... as he reffered
Buddhism was.

Tashi,

You're such an idiot, I've studied Buddhism. I get it. The *cult* I
was referring to was your Welstanschauung and its inability to see the
relationship of self and other. You on the other hand are incredibly
naive about the *western canon* and proceed to debase it because you
for some reason feel it's necessary.
