Rosary beads are being excitedly shaken amongst the 1.4 billion Catholics as with Pope Leo XIV now sat in the big chair, they have a new leader to fawn other but if you are not of a Catholic persuasion, not to worry because there are plenty of other religions to choose and they will all tell you they are the right one so who are the top bananas of those other religions?
Since Henry VIII told the Pope to do one so he could marry his bit of young crumpet the top Royal has always doubled up as the head of the Church of England and lorded it over the 26 million Church of Englander's.
After the Pope the Dalia Lama is probably the most famous religious leader and he is who you would need to doff your hat to if you join the other 500 million Buddhists in meditating on the path toward liberation from defilements whatever that is and The Jagadguru (guru of the universe) is the big enchilada for the 1.2 billion Hindu's.
Just like Christianity, Islam is split into teams under the same umbrella with the 1.7 billion Sunni Muslims considering the Grand Imam, Ahmed el-Tayeb, as their big cheese and the 300 million Shia flavour looking towards Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Sistani.
The 15.2 million followers of Judaism see Chief Rabbi is David Yosef as their bigwig and the Shinto religion get two for one as the Japanese Emperor, Shinto Naruhito, get to run the country and the official religion of 3 million believers.
Some religious groups are ruled over by committee so in the World of Hari Krishna the head honcho is His Divine Grace Sri Srimad Bhakti Sundar Sanyasi Goswami Maharaj and the 8.8 million Jehovah's Witnesses officially list Jesus Christ as their leader but the President of the Watch Tower is Robert Ciranko and he actually exists so he has the 'I'm The Boss' sign on his desk.
The 8 million Church of Scientology followers waiting for Xenu and looking nervously at Volcanoes see David Miscavige, President of Scientology as the head honcho while 7 million
Baháʼí Faith admirers dont let death stop a leader because theirs died in 1921 but it keeps things simpe even if a bit tricky to email with questions of faith.
Voodoo boats 60 million followers and Augustin St. Clou is the current King of Voodoo and the Taosim Celestial Master of Orthodox Unity Taoism for the 8.7 milion Taosits is Chang Tao-ch'en and Zoroastrianism's top dog is Zerbanoo Gifford for the 200,000 followers of the religion.
I'm not sure who the 1.1 billion Atheist give Thanks to for not believing any of the above but as Richard Dawkins is probably the most famous non-believer then i would have to say the Evolutionary biology is probably the Atheists chief.

evolutionary biology? really? even for atheists (that for the most part don't understand science) that think the other 90% of religious humans are morons, that is exceedingly stupid.
> newton arguably founded the scientific method
> darwin observed things change over time - evolution
> nietzsche predicted "god's" death - logically your founder
> marx attempted to replace God with global equitable poverty
you need to pick a person, preferably a current atheist like dawkins, jinping, jong un, or maybe putin... oh, maybe that is why you used dawkins... you realize that the well known atheists are tyrants... hmmmm... wouldn't want to display that list of great atheists...
ps - how does evolution explain creation? you do realize that science just assumes there was always "something" and pretends that isn't an act of faith...
damn your atheist boat has a lot of leaks...
Scientists just copy the Bible anyway. Look.
Genesis
1. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light
2. divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament
3. God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so
4. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven
5. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth
6. and God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast
7. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness, male and female created he them
8. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
9. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise
10. Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you
Science
1. big bang
2. solar systems and planets develop
3. plant life evolves on earth
4. elementary life evolves as well as birds (originally dinosaurs)
5. dinosaurs evolve into mammals
6. present day animals evolve
7. humans evolve
8. sixth day - scientists say billions of years - theory of relativity
9. the conscious brain evolves
10. the big extinction - dinosaurs didn't get on the ark... but mosquitos did... alas
scientists are pretty smart to get their theories from the Bible.
