The Living Bread Research
Christianity by Country
How many people are Christian, and how many churches can be found, country by country. Every figure is an estimate quoted with its source and year; we never present a single number as the whole truth.

Christian share from Pew Research Center or national censuses (year shown on each page); population from Wikidata; church counts are The Living Bread's OpenStreetMap-derived directory sample, not national totals. Estimates differ between sources, so each country page cites exactly where its numbers come from.
