Methodology. This table extracts a microcosm of the world table above. It depicts the United States, the country with the largest number of adherents to Christianity, the world's largest religion. Statistics for five points
in time across the 20th century are presented. Also analyzed is each religion's Annual change by: Natural increase (births minus deaths, plus immigrants minus emigrants) per year and Conversion (new converts
minus new defectors), which together constitute the Total increase per year. Rate is then computed as percent per year.
Structure. Vertically the table lists 27 major religious categories. The 11 major religions (including nonreligion) in the U.S. are arrayed according to size in 1990, with largest (Christians) first; likewise Christianity's
seven major ecclesiastico-cultural blocs are ranked by 1990 size. Indented names of groups in the "Adherents" column are subcategories of the groups above them and are also counted in these unindented totals, so they are not
added into the column total. Figures for Christians in 1970 are built upon detailed head counts, then rounded to the nearest 1,000; 1990 figures are current estimates, also rounded. Because of the rounding, percentage calculations
sometimes may not total 100%. Figures for AD 2000 are projections based on current long-term trends.
Christians. Professing Christians are all persons who profess publicly (in censuses or polls) to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. This category is subdivided into affiliated Christians (church members) and
unaffiliated (nominal) Christians (professing Christians not affiliated with any church).
Evangelicals, Protestant and Black. Churches, agencies, and individuals that call themselves by this term and/or emphasize five or more fundamental doctrines (salvation by faith, personal acceptance, verbal inspiration of
Scripture, depravity of man, Virgin Birth, miracles of Christ, atonement, evangelism, Second Advent).
Black Christians. Members of denominations initiated by African-Americans.
Non-Christians. Followers of other, non-Christian religions or of no religion.
Other Christians. Members of denominations and churches regarding themselves as outside mainline Christianity.
Jews. Core Jewish population relating to Judaism, excluding Jewish persons professing a different religion but including immigrants from the former U.S.S.R., Eastern Europe, Israel, and other areas.
Other categories. Definitions as given above under the Worldwide Adherents table.
