About the data
Shares come from national censuses and surveys compiled in the CIA World Factbook; the year differs by country. Denominations are grouped into religious families — for example Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox into Christianity. Totals can exceed or fall short of 100% because sources overlap or leave groups unstated.
