List of Christian denominations by number of members
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2006) |
This is a list of Christian denomination by number of members. It is inevitably partial and generally based on claims by the denominations themselves. The numbers should therefore be considered approximate. The list includes all the minor churches affiliated to the Catholic Church, all the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches with some recognition, the relevant breakaway churches of the Catholic Church, all Protestant denominations and all Anglican denominations with at least 0.2 million members, and all the other Christian branches with a distinct theological tradition.
