The State of Christianity Today

[Dragoon]

I will provide lots of numbers to show you how Christianity is doing today.
Information will include Europe, North America and South America.

It is important to note that a good strong Christian is very difficult to count.
Ultimately only God or the person knows the truth.

Identifying and practicing Christians produce different numbers. What counts as practicing can vary on personal opinion or type of Christianity.
Also surveys and polls often add additional options (spiritual, wavering, higher beings, syncretic beliefs) which complicate things more.

First allow me to make several posts (mostly done now). Feel free to add newer or improved numbers from your country or elsewhere.
