Updates

The World Christian database is updated twice a year, following research cycles.

Kosovo and Serbia
19 Feb 2008

Following Kosovo's declaration of independence, WCD data on Kosovo and on Serbia have been separated and updated.


On Sunday 17 February 2008 the Kosovo Assembly issued a Declaration of Independence stating: "We, the democratically-elected leaders of our people, hereby declare Kosovo to be an independent and sovereign state."

Serbian President Boris Tadic responded that Serbia "will do everything in its power to annul the arbitrary and illegal declaration of Kosovo's independence that Serbia will never recognise."

While Kosovo, Serbia, and the world community work to resolve the implications of the Declaration, Kosovo has become the 240th entry in the World Christian Database list of countries, which includes non-sovereign territories.

Data on Kosovo, including all Christian denominations and the wider religious makeup, have been extracted from the Serbian data and both updated so that the two can be analyzed separately.

Population update
04 Jan 2008

WCD has been updated to reflect the latest population revisions from the United Nations.


The number of religionists in every country of the world are reconciled with each biennial revision of the population data produced by the United Nations population division.

This update includes the latest re-reconciliation of statistics on all Christian denominations and world religions including Peoples and Provinces.

New projections of religious adherents for 2025 and 2050 proceed from this.
