Protestantism by country

For the purposes of this list, the following Christian branches are considered Protestant: • Seventh-day Adventists • Anabaptists (including Amish, Hutterites, Mennonites) • Anglicans (including Episcopalians) • Baptists • Calvinists (or the Reformed tradition) (including Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Continental Reformed, Waldensians) • Lutherans • Methodists • Pentecostals • Other Protestants (including Hussites, Brethren, Free Evangelicals, Quakers, United, Holiness and others) Evangelicals, Charismatics, Neo-charismatics and other revivalists are found virtually across every Protestant branch. Nondenominationals, various independents and Protestants from other denominations, not easily fitting in the traditional classification, are also taken into account. Estimates of total Protestant population vary considerably. Most reliable sources claim a range of 800 million to more than 1 billion. Difficulties occur as there is no consensus among scholars which denominations should be considered Protestant. == Countries ==

According to some, Russia is another country to see Protestant growth. The seven regions considered in the following table are the six traditional ones (Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Oceania), plus Middle East (i.e., countries with Islamic majority from the Mediterranean to Iran). ==By region==
