CIA World Factbook
I am not listing all of the religions cited in most cases.
North America
Canada
'Roman Catholic 42.6%, Protestant 23.3%' '(2001 census)'
Comment: While I was attending a Mennonite Bible School and later a Baptist Seminary a common understanding discussed within the evangelical Church was that true Biblical Christian belief in Greater Vancouver was below 5% based on church attendance and membership. But this is a topic where one could state, 'Only the Lord knows'. Based on my pageviews one would state that percentage wise there are likely not many Christians in Greater Vancouver compared to many other metropolitan areas in the world, especially areas in the United States.
United States of America
'Protestant 51.3%, Roman Catholic 23.9%, Mormon 1.7%' (2007 Estimated)
Comment: Notice the United States has more Protestants than Roman Catholics, which is the opposite of Canada. Also notice the CIA noted The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
The overall number of Protestant Christians is very, very likely of course over-stated as in they are probably not actually Bible-believing Christians but are culturally Christian. However, the overall number of actual Christians in percentage is still much higher than the number in Canada I would deduce. I reason culturally the United States is a more Christianized country than Canada. Again my statscounter and sitemeter can provide me personally an indicator of that as well. But if one merely looked at the CIA statistics it would not strongly enough indicate how much more the United States is culturally Christianized than Canada.
Eastern Europe
Russian Federation
'Russian Orthodox 15-20%, Muslim 10-15%, other Christian 2%' (2006 Estimated)
Comment: Interesting that Islam is now listed second, almost equal to Russian Orthodox as of six years ago.
Ukraine
'Ukrainian Orthodox - Kyiv Patriarchate 50.4%, Ukrainian Orthodox - Moscow Patriarchate 26.1%, Ukrainian Greek Catholic 8%, Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox 7.2%, Roman Catholic 2.2%, Protestant 2.2%' (2006 Estimated).
Comment: I include the Ukraine because I have readers/followers from there and because selfishly writing a satire site my adoption paper states I am half Ukrainian, so obviously it is a major world power. I am intrigued by compared to Russia how Christianized culturally the Ukraine still appears.
Western Europe
United Kingdom
'Christian (Anglican, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist) 71.6%, Muslim 2.7%, Hindu 1%'
(2001 Census)
Comment: With the number of Muslims in the United Kingdom presently, just how high will the number rise in percentage for Islam?
Spain
'Roman Catholic 94%, other 6%' (No year cited)
Comment: The rise of Islam is not apparent?
France
'Roman Catholic 83%-88%, Protestant 2%, Jewish 1%, Muslim 5%-10%' (No year cited)
Comment: Interesting...
CBN Islamization of Paris
'PARIS - Friday in Paris. A hidden camera shows streets blocked by huge crowds of Muslim worshippers and enforced by a private security force.
This is all illegal in France: the public worship, the blocked streets, and the private security. But the police have been ordered not to intervene.'
'Muslims are said to be no more than 10 percent of the French population, although no one knows for sure because French law prohibits population counts by religion.'
As discussed on this blog previously perhaps a radical Islamic political group will one day rule a majority and turn France into an Islamic state or perhaps the Muslims in France will become Westernized and France will remain a Western state.
Germany
Protestant 34%, Roman Catholic 34%, Muslim 3.7% (No year cited)
Comment: An Islamic presence but less than that of France.
Austria
'Roman Catholic 73.6%, Protestant 4.7%, Muslim 4.2%' (2001 Census)
Comment: I will use as I am using Vienna photos. Decent Muslim numbers.
Italy
'Roman Catholic 90% (approximately; about one-third practicing), other 10% (includes mature Protestant and Jewish communities and a growing Muslim immigrant community'
Comment: Islam would be deduced to be growing by the growth of the Muslim community. Apparently I am also part Italian according to that piece of paper, so I must include plus I really like Italian and French food.
Sweden
Lutheran 87% (No year cited)
Comment: The adoption paper states I am part Swedish. Apparently they wanted me to go to a Roman Catholic family.... That never happened. So, of course Sweden is a world power according to this blog.
Ireland
'Roman Catholic 87.4%, Church of Ireland 2.9%, other Christian 1.9%' (2006 Census)
Comment: Irish blood yes...the paper. There does not seem to be a significant Islamic influence there. It has been heavily secularized like all of Europe.
South America
Brazil
'Roman Catholic (nominal) 73.6%, Protestant 15.4%' (No year cited)
Comment: Other religions mentioned like spiritualist and voodoo, but not Islam.
Argentina
'nominally Roman Catholic 92% (less than 20% practicing), Protestant 2%, Jewish 2%'
Comment: Not too different than Brazil.
Asia
China
'Daoist (Taoist), Buddhist, Christian 3%-4%, Muslim 1%-2%
note: officially atheis't (2002 Estimated)
Comment: With well over 1 billion persons in population, 3%-4% is still a considerable amount of estimated Christians.
Japan
'Shintoism 83.9%, Buddhism 71.4%, Christianity 2% (2005)
Comment: Many would practice both Japanese Shinto and Buddhism.
Oceania
Australia
'Protestant 27.4% (Anglican 18.7%, Uniting Church 5.7%, Presbyterian and Reformed 3%), Catholic 25.8%, Eastern Orthodox 2.7%, other Christian 7.9%, Buddhist 2.1%, Muslim 1.7%' (2006 Census)
Comment: Does not look like Islam is a major concern yet there...mate.
