When was your church founded?

Do you have any idea when your religion was founded, by whom, and how many members it has? We found the following interesting.

If you are a Hindu, your religion developed in India around 1500 B.C.. Hinduism has so many different sects it is not worth listing them. 751 Million

Buddhism split from Hinduism, and was founded by Buddha, Prince Siddhartha Gautama of India about 500 B.C.. Buddhism is also plagued with division. Examples: Theravada, Mahayana, Mantrayana, and Zen. 334 Million

Islam was started by Mohammed around 600 A.D. in what is now Saudi Arabia. Islam is divided into many different sects such as, the Sunni, Shiah, Wahhabis, and Ismaili Khoja. 1 Billion

If you are a Jehovah' s Witness your religion was started by Charles Russell in 1872. Jehovah's Witness are not christians. They believe Jesus is really Michael the archangel not the Son of God. 4 Million
What Jehovah Witnesses Really Believe

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints better known as the Mormons was started by Joseph Smith in 1830. Mormons masquerade as Christians, but in fact believe in many gods. This is contrary to the Christian faith. Mormons also believe that god was once a mortal man and that a faithful Mormon can become his own god after his death. Strange but true.

The Jewish religion was founded when Abraham listened to God about 4,000 years ago. The modern Jewish faith has many factions. Such as, Hasidic, Orthodox, Modern Orthodox, Reformed Judaism, and Conservative Judaism. 13 Million

If you are a Protestant your church was started by a human being. The belief of private interpretation of the Bible has been the hallmark and down fall of Protestantism. This is quite evident in the squabbling over the true meaning of the Bible which has created over 2500 different Protestant denominations. 382 Million
