Countries with the Most Christians

Nice one!

100% :)

Kinda southwest of Russia in Europe.

*slow clap*

lol...

Good Job

... :D

south of Russia

They are not catholic or protestant, they are orthodox.

Certain orthodox are considered Catholic

It has nothing to do with them being Orthodox. The Wikipedia page estimates that there are "14,900,000-38,080,000" Christians in Ukraine. I don't know why they have such a huge spread there. If the upper number is accurate they would make the list. I suppose nobody has ever done any good data collection and they are speculating.

Does Ukraine have a periodic census where people are asked about their religion?

42 million would be basically the entire population of Ukraine.

ukraine is my favourite country name after yugoslavia, and turkmenistan

Seriously speaking, though, Ukraine is very nice. Been there even with the hassle going on in the other part of the country.

Fair point, I'm more surprised at the absence of India on the same grounds.

I was also very surprised to not see India. I went to the Wiki page on the subject and saw that they come in at #21.

Well, a lot of the population is hindu, another part is muslim.

Even a tiny fraction of 1.4 billion people is a lot.

I wouldn't have guessed China if I hadn't seen those numbers - that could only have been China or India. I would guess the reason India isn't on here is because it's almost entirely Hindu with a fair number of Muslim regions as well (I don't know if Buddhism, Sikhism, or Jainism are still common in India but they used to be).

You're misusing the word "enormity". Chinese people aren't that bad.

Worth noting the uk figures from 2011 census data and since 2001 actual number down 4m and % declaring no religion up from 15% to 25%

91600/173600=52.76%, not 49%

Great quiz. I missed Uganda and Kenya, though.

Try a similar version of this quiz here: http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/178909/five-most-christian-countries-by-continent

I can't believe I forgot Ethiopia! That should have been easy...

I kind of think we should add in Vatican city just because their whole population is christian

im a kid, and I got 7

you are mixing catholic countrys with Christian countrys

Catholics are Christians, just a denomination of Christianity.

India, indonesia, peru, canada and venezuela miss out being in the 20 millions. Ukraine has unstable data from what I can see. Bummed cause i guseed all of them ://

btw the numbers here do not match up with the quiz "5 countries with most christians by continent." For one example, Poland is included on that quiz while the UK is not, but here the UK is shown as having more Christians than Poland. There are others.

Then why is "Christian" in the name of the dominant political party?

How did I miss Italy?!

Was really expecting to see South Korea here as they've gone apes4!7 crazy on Christianity and you can even see the phenomenon in most of their recent films (Kollywood for Korea or Sollywood?) Also, India and Indonesia were missing. All of these around 30 million or so.

You see Christian influence in a lot of Japanese shows and movies but it's not because there are a lot of Christians in Japan. They view it more as some kind of crazy weird exotic cult, maybe the same way Americans see Shinto or Japanese animism, or maybe the way Egyptian mythology is presented in films like The Mummy or Norse mythology as in Marvel's The Avengers.

South Korea is a bit of a different story. There actually are a lot of believing Christians in South Korea. About 30% of the total population is Christian, making them the 5th most Christian country in Asia as a percentage (after East Timor, Cyprus, Georgia, and the Philippines), and 6th in Asia in terms of total number (after Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia, China, and India), but 34th worldwide.

It's probably in the top one.
