As of the early 21st century, Christianity has approximately 2.2 billion adherents, out of about 7.2 billion people.[1][2][3][4] The faith represents about one-third of the world's population and is the largest religion in the world, with the three largest groups of Christians being the Catholic Church, Protestantism, and the Eastern Orthodox Church.[5] The largest Christian denomination is the Catholic Church, with 1.09 billion adherents.[6] The second largest denomination is either Protestantism (if it is considered a single group), or the Eastern Orthodox Church (if Protestants are considered to be divided into multiple denominations).
Christianity is the predominant religion in Europe, Russia, the Americas, the Philippines, East Timor, Southern Africa, Central Africa, East Africa and Oceania.[7] There are also large Christian communities in other parts of the world, such as Central Asia and the Middle East, where Christianity is the second-largest religion after Islam. The United States of America has the largest Christian population in the world, followed by Brazil and Mexico.[8]
Christianity, in one form or another, is the state religion of the following 13 nations: Argentina (Roman Catholic Church),[9] Tuvalu (Church of Tuvalu), Costa Rica (Roman Catholic Church),[10] Kingdom of Denmark (Danish National Church),[11] England (Church of England),[12] Greece (Eastern Orthodoxy), Georgia (Georgian Orthodox Church),[13][14] Iceland (Church of Iceland),[15] Liechtenstein (Roman Catholic Church),[16] Malta (Roman Catholic Church),[17] Monaco (Roman Catholic Church),[18] Norway (Church of Norway),[19] Vatican City (Roman Catholic Church).[20]

By country
Note: Population statistics by religious affiliations are based upon statistical science and are subject to observational error (technically referred to as estimates). The proportion of Christians is based on the proportion of the population in each country who are members of a Christian denomination or who identify themselves as Christian. It says nothing about the proportion of such as believe in God and are regularly in the church. People who mix Christianity with tribal religions are defined in this article as Christians. Most of the percentage of Christian population of each country was taken from the US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report, the CIA World Factbook, Joshua Project, Open doors, Pew Forum and Adherents.com.
