National Geographic has this article saying that Islam has now overtaken Catholicism as the world’s largest religion. According to the article this is the current breakdown (percentage of world population):

• Islamic: 19.2%
• Catholic: 17.4%

That said, Christians as a whole are still by far the largest religious group comprising 33% of the world population.
