Question

how many christian are there in the world?What is its percentage with regard to world population?

Answer 1

There are 2.1 billion Christians worldwide. Of these, 1.1 billion are Roman Catholic making it the largest (and oldest) denomination.

There are 6.5 billion people in the world so roughly 16.9 percent of the world's population is Catholic.

About 1.3 billion people are Muslim, so they actually make up a slightly greater percentage of the total world population.

Answer 2

A little over 2 billion, about 1/3 of the world's population. Roman Catholicism is the largest denomination with over 1 billion adherents.

Answer 3

2.1 Billion Christians in the world, of which Roman Catholicism is the largest christian denomination with roughly 1.1 billion members, since it is the oldest and original christian faith. Peace. Therefore, about 1/3 of the world is christian and about 17% is Catholic.

Answer 4

I believe there is something like 1 1/2 billion Catholics in the world and I am not sure what else it is that your asking.

Answer 5

That's a number that would be very inaccurate and off-target if I were to give it to you. You can't possibly know; so many are being converted each day, and at the same time, so many are leaving the faith. The percentage would constantly fluctuate, and it would be unlikely that many people would say they were Catholic, even if they were. It's too hard of a number, I think, to even trust if someone were to tell you.

Answer 6

There are approximately 1.6 billion Catholics worldwide; roughly 1/6th of the world's population.

Europe remained practically unvaried. Regarding the distribution of Catholics in various geographical areas, figures show that America has 49.8% of the world’s Catholics, while Europe has 25.8%. The percentage is less in other continents: Africa 13.2%, Asia 10.4% and Oceania, 0.8%. In relation to a continent’s total population, the percentage of Catholics is: 62.46% in America, 39.59% in Europe, 26.39% in Oceania, 16.89% in Africa and 2.93% in Asia.
