The next most widely practiced religions, based on number of followers, are:
Shintō (104 million followers). Formally established in Japan in the 8th century CE, Shintō promotes the existence of many gods. It is not an organized religion in the traditional sense, but it serves as the foundation of many cultural practices in Japan.
Sikhism (25 million followers). Relatively new compared with many other faiths, Sikhism was founded in India in the 1500s CE and is based on the teachings of Guru Nanak and his nine successors.
Judaism (14 million followers). This monotheistic religion was established in the Middle East about the 8th century BCE and today comprises three primary branches: Orthodox Judaism, Conservative Judaism, and Reform Judaism. Though based on a common belief system, the branches differ in their interpretation of Scripture and certain religious practices.
Daoism (12 million followers). Originating in China more than 2,000 years ago, Daoism (also known as Taoism)centers on living in harmony with the spontaneous fluctuations of the natural order. Among its first philosophers was a man named Laozi, who is believed to have written the faith’s primary text, the Daodejing.
Muism (10 million followers). One of the world’s oldest religions, this faith is closely associated with traditional Korean culture and history and is also known as Korean Shamanism. Muism’s followers claim a strong belief in the spirit world.
Cao Dai (4.4 million followers). Originating in Vietnam in 1926, Cao Dai was established by Ngo Van Chieu, who claimed to have received a message from a god figure known as the Supreme Being during a séance. The religion incorporates elements of many other faiths, including Christianity, Judaism, and Daoism, and promotes love, peace, and tolerance.

Christmas, the holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, is celebrated by a majority of Christians on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar. But early Christians did not celebrate his birth, and no one knows on which date Jesus was actually born (some scholars believe that the actual date was in the early spring, placing it closer to Easter, the holiday commemorating his Resurrection).
