Answer #2

Rofl. The largest religion in the world is Islam, truthfully. Christianity isn’t even a close second. The reason people are thinking “Christian” with the term “God” is because “God” is a Christian term. All religions have their name for the higher power. If you are using the term “God” in place of “higher power” and you are not a Christian, then you probably grew up in a Judea-Christian society.
