Can someone enlighten as to the religion being mentioned?
I have a feeling that there are more Muslims in the world than TRUE Christians.
And my guess is that there are more secularists than true Christians or Muslims.
Look at America, sure most people profess to be Christians, but when you get right down to it and examine their attitudes toward abortion, homosexuality and a host of other problems, their actual religion is secularism. And, as bad as it is in America, it is far worse in Europe.
Fifty years ago, C.S. Lewis warned that secularism was the greatest threat the world faced, and I firmly believe that he was right.
“Can someone enlighten as to the religion being mentioned?”
I would guess secular humanism. Most “Christians” I know subscribe more to mainstream B.S. than the teachings of Jesus. And they take an attitude of “who am I to judge” on issues like contraception, abortion, euthanasia, & gay “rights”.
If I’m wrong than my second guess would be the cult of Islam. They are reproducing like bunnies & taking over many parts of the world.

wagglebee makes great points, and awesome link by CJ Wolf!
(much much clearer than what i said or read before.)
...and the Bible doesn’t name it specifically.
but does indicate another religion will be the largest.
and last year, the Pope made the curious statement,
(in CJ Wolf’s link) that Islam is now the largest single religion in the world.
(another in the series of prophecies fulfilled, like Israel reborn. showing what “season” we are approaching...)
and people make good points about secularists. (and atheism, IS technically a religion...)
but, i have studied Islam, including the Sira and ahadith,
(i even studied it from “inside” with an Imam).
and i have no doubt, that Islam isn’t a “man-made” cult or religion. ...it truly IS the religion of Satan himself !
(any Christian could realize that, in the warning of Jesus that Satan could still appear as a “spirit of light”,
simply from reading the story of Mohammad in the cave with the “spirit of light” that terrified him, and tried to choke him. ...and there many more clear examples.)
and not so oddly, Islam has end-times prophecys that indirectly support the Bible’s.
example their’s says the end is near when Islam is the largest.
