In the study of human geography, an ethnic religion is one that appeals primarily to a specific group of people from a specific place, compared to a universalizing religion which attempts to appeal to a wide number of people throughout the world. Some ethnic religions have different denominations, but most don't. By far the most practiced ethnic religions in terms of the sheer number of adherents is Hinduism, but the most geographically widespread ethnic religion is Judaism. About 24% of the world's population adheres to an ethnic religion, while about 62% belong to a universalizing religion and 14% belong to no particular religion at all.
