11/22/19- buddhism and judaism

In todays human geography class we learned about the other two world religions.  We learned about Buddhism and Judaism.  Buddhism is the fourth largest religion and Judaism is the ninth largest.  Even though Judaism isn't the fifth largest religion, Mr. Schick included it in the top five world religions because of its' survival throughout all the years and attempts of prosecuting Jews off the face of the Earth.  Followers of Judaism are known as Jews and followers of Buddhism are known as Buddhists.  Buddhism has 500 million to 1.5 billion adherents, the number varies quite a bit because Buddhism is a very lenient religion.  You can be a Buddhist and pretty much any other religion at the same time.  Buddhists are geographically located mainly in Southeast Asia, China, Nepal, and Japan, while Jews are geographically located mainly in Israel and the United States.  Buddhism has four denominations (other religions based off of one) and Judaism doesn't have any denominations.
