who identify as Jews. People who so identify are only about 0,2% of the global population. In the sense that it is the mother religion of Christianity, it still has influence, but as a separate religion, it is smaller than almost all other recognized religions. Even folk religions make up almost 6% of the global population.

But then, again, less than a third of the world's population is Christian. There is no majority religion.
