**My question:**
What is the greater population and gender ratio of all the religions?

Introduction:
I will be presenting you with the populations of religions and the gender ratio of it all. I want to try and discover what all these religions are made up of in a form of population and gender ratio.

Islam:
Now the second biggest religion is Islam. If you noticed I am talking about the whole religion party together not in separate groups.
