Religion and statistics

An interesting article in which two of my interests mix : religion and statistics. I'm a fan of number one, and a firm disbeliever in number two.

I strongly recommend you to read : "How do you count Catholics?" in http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21545819.

So, how many catholics are there ? There are two questions to be answered : who is to be considered a catholic ? And how can one count them ?

I do not have a clue ; but they are probably a lot less than the reported 1.2 bio.
