Christianity

Christianity is the most popular religion, with over 2.1 billion followers around the world. Christianity is 2,000 years old and the religion centers around the teachings of Jesus Christ, who lived in the holy land and is believed to be the son of God. The holy book of Christians (followers of Christ) is the Bible.
