User:OneGuy/Christianity by country

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following page was created by using the same sources and program that I wrote to create Islam by country. This page is not that useful because it should have separate statistics for main Christian sects -- Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, various Protestant sects, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, etc., (a page on only Catholic statistics would be easiest to make). Also, the exact percentage of Christian population in many Western countries is not clear because many are nonreligious or agnostic/atheist. I also used more guess work in some cases here. Nevertheless, overall the statistics below must be very close to real figures. If not, let me know where a percentage of Christians in a country is incorrect (everything else is calculated by using that number).
