User talk:OneGuy/Christianity by country

The following page was created by using the same sources and program that I wrote to create Islam by country. This page is not that useful because it should have separate statistics for main Christian sects -- Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, various Protestant sects, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, etc., (a page on only Catholic statistics would be easiest to make). Also, the exact percentage of Christian population in many Western countries is not clear because of high percentage of nonreligious or agnostic/atheist population. I also used more guess work in some cases here. Nevertheless, overall the statistics below must be very close to real figures. If not, let me know.
