'''Note''': Population statistics by religious affiliations are based upon [[statistics|statistical science]] and are subject to [[observational error]] (technically referred to as [[estimation|estimates]]). The proportion of [[Christian]]s is based on the proportion of the population in each country who are members of a [[Christian denomination]] or who identify themselves as Christian. It says nothing about the proportion of such as believe in [[God (Christianity)|God]] and are regularly in the [[Christian Church|church]]. People who mix [[Christianity]] with [[tribal religion]]s are defined in this article as [[Christian]]s. Most of the percentage of [[Christian]] population of each country was taken from the US [[State Department]]'s'' International Religious Freedom Report'', [[Islam by country#cite note-11|the]]'' [[The World Factbook|CIA World Factbook]]'', [[Joshua Project]], [[Open doors]], [[Pew Forum]] and [[Adherents.com]].
