Catholics worldwide are about 1.1M. Muslims total (shi'a and sunni) are approx 1.2M (the range is 900-1.4, depending on what numbers are beign cited).

If Catholics and Protestants are counted separately then shouldn't the Shia and the Sunni be counted separately?
The Sunni and Shia split long before the Catholics and Protestants and Islam is a much younger religion.
