Talk:Protestantism by country

message: The percentages on the graph do not match with the text
According to the text 55% of the population of US is protestant. According to the red color on the leftmost graph the percentage is somewhere between 1% and 10%. The rightmost graph shows a number between 11% and 20%. Most of the other percentages are also wrong. Either the graph should be deleted or the the text should be corrected.
:The map is indeed wrong, as it shows Ethiopia has having 11-20 million Protestants, whereas the text (correct, according to the 1994 census) says that 10.1% of Ethiopians, or about 7.3 million (applying the percentage to today's population) people are protestant, which would make Ethiopia's Pcolor on the map red. It's listed as purple (11-20 million), however.
::Hehe, both maps are actually correct, although they are certainly realized in a very confusing fashion and just until a few moments ago I myself had the same hunch you had. Then I looked twice, or rather, thrice, and recognized my (our) error. But when you've got it, it's a fairly simple story: These numbers the respective colors stand for, do not signify millions (of people in population), nor do they signify a popular magnitude at all. Instead, these are the respective ranks: both maps show the top sixty Protestant countries colored! That's just why the numbers go only up to 60! ;-) So it could hardly mean "percent"; nor could it mean "millions of people", as for example the USA obviously have a greater population than 60 million. These are simply the ranks. That explains why three of the world's most populous nations (USA, China, Brazil) are all red on the map regarding Protestant numbers, despite only one of these nations (USA) being generally known as predominantly Protestant.

message: The Japan have 509,668 Catholics, the Japan have 509,668 Protestants. The Roman Catholicism in Japan have references, the Protestants no. Someone might find the references to the Protestants? Sorry my bad English. Bruno Ishiai (talk) 22:32, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

message: This article needs much better references for the figures quoted. 
May i suggest that the pattern i have followed in the Ireland section is followed for all other countries. That is to have a reference for the pop of the country with the year of that census in brackets and a reference for the number of protestants.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eleutherius (talk • contribs) 22:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

message: For the Dem. Rep. of the Congo, the first list gives 51%, the second list gives only 20% (which seems to be more realistic). The figure for Hungary (24%) is also probably way too high. De wafelenbak (talk) 10:55, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The latest 2011 UK Census gives total CHRISTIANS as 59.5%, yet this list gives the UK as being 62% Protestant, which is obviously impossible. Given that Catholics and Orthodox combined make up more than 9% of the population of the UK, it is quite possible that the UK is not even a majority Protestant country anymore. At most it is about 50% Protestant, not 51%.
:Go ahead and change it. I bet in reality, it's 30% Protestant or even less.Ernio48 (talk) 19:14, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

message: This article, together with other articles about Christianity (Christianity by country, Christian population growth, Growth of religion, the "Christianity" article itself, etc.) need to be cleansed of the garbage that over the years was introduced by the now, and finally, indefinitely-banned user . These articles were deeply manipulated by the user in order to make up a bogus, "big number" of Protestants and Christians in general. On 4 January an anonymous user fixed many of the data, but there is a strong need of a thoroughgoing purge of both this article and the others.--80.116.12.137 (talk) 16:14, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

message: "In 2010, the largest Protestant denominational families were historically Pentecostal denominations..."
Since the term "Pentecostal" means something different now than what is being intended in this sentence (I assume), this word should definitely be removed. "Pentecostals" are a large and controversial denomination of their own and have nothing to do with the denominations listed here. 98.10.117.154 (talk) 12:12, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
