Thanks for the graphics!

Vlad,
I wonder how 34% Christian compares to things historically. I’m going to guess that it’s probably not as bad as it seems. In the Middle Ages for instance Europe was Christian, but the entire rest of the known world at the time (Africa and Asia) wasn’t. Today we are seeing a reversal where Europe has become largely secular while Christianity it experiencing an explosion in Africa and parts of Asia.

Its interesting that of the percentages only 34 % are professing Christians, whereas 66(6) % are lost. Hell truly has enlarged herself.

dispensationalists and their charts…

Great charts! Any information on major trends? Growth, decline, geographies?

Great charts. Have some questions about the last two though. There are some inconsistencies between the numbers and the percentages. For example, Presby/Reformed and Methodists are of the same size numerically, but differ in size on a percentage basis. And the Presby/Reformed are greater in size numerically than the Lutherans and Anglicans/Episcopal, yet are shown as smaller than both in percentages. So, I guess the specific question is…which chart is the more accurate and indicative. Or am I missing something?

Brilliant resource thank you for posting it!
