Full list     

The tables below represent statistics in regard to Protestantism by country.

Methodology

For the purposes of this list, "Protestant" includes the following denominations: Assemblies of God, Anglican/Episcopalian (not always reckoned as Protestant), Baptist, Church of God, Church of the Nazarene, Churches of Christ, Congregationalist, Calvinist, Holiness, Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Reformed, Seventh-day Adventist, Quaker, "Evangelicals", non-Denominational Protestants, and other Protestants. Estimates of total Protestant population vary from 800 million to 1 billion on account of the rapid growth and inability to ascertain accurately in environmente of persecution.

The percentages of Protestants in each country were taken from a variety of sources, including the US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2004.[1] Other sources used were Adherents.com,[2] the CIA Factbook,[3] PROLADES, Pew Foundation articles, and others. The population estimates for each country were taken from the US Census Bureau[4] (2005 estimates) and Population Reference Bureau (2011 est.), unless otherwise cited.
