Christianity Around the Globe

Christianity, widely distributed across the globe, is the world's largest religion, encompassing various beliefs, traditions, and practices. With each country possessing its unique cultural and religious landscapes, the concentration and practice of Christianity demonstrate a degree of variability worldwide. This article provides an exploration of the most Christian countries worldwide, entailing an in-depth investigation into their demographic distribution.

Key Findings:

  • With a population that is 99.1% Christian, Timor-Leste holds the highest percentage of Christian adherents globally. It's followed by American Samoa and Romania, both housing a Christian population of over 98%.
  • The United States, inherently known for its religious diversity, sees a Christian population close to 71%. This makes it one of the countries with a high percentage of Christians, though not as high as more homogeneous countries.
