The magazine Hinduism Today gives some slightly different numbers:
Christians 2 Billion. (Roman catholics 1.4 Billion and Protestants 600 million)
Muslims 1.3 Billion
Hindus 1 Billion
The Hindu number seems a little high.
For example it says there are 470,000 Hindus in Canada, whereas the official census states there are 300,000 I think.
For USA it gives 2 million, of which half are converts to Hinduism.
For India it states there are 895 million.
