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. There are 593 million Protestants in the world; a little fewer than three in ten Christians are Protestants.
The percentages of Protestants in each country were taken from a variety of sources, principally from the US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2004.[1] Other sources used were Adherents.com,[2] the CIA Factbook,[3] and others. [citation needed] The population estimates for each country were taken from the US Census Bureau[4] (2005 estimates) unless otherwise cited.
