Summary[edit]

Description
English: A Western country is coloured either Orthodox, Protestant, or Catholic, if it counts more than 50% more members than any second.

Note: in fact, Christianity is taxonomically divided in the following 6 branches: w:Church of the East, w:Oriental Orthodoxy, w:Eastern Orthodoxy, w:Roman Catholicism, w:Protestantism, and w:Restorationism. Most recent available data is used.

 
Orthodox
 
Protestant
 
Catholic

Data and sources used:

Australia 2011: Orthodox 2%, Protestant 28%, Catholic 25%. More recent data reports a wide Catholic predominancy, but this data doesn't account for the other many non-Anglican Protestant, and also it notes that the question on religious affiliation was optional, so I used 2011 data which reports an even context.

Belgium 2019: Orthodox 1%, Protestant 3%, Catholic 54%

Cyprus 2019: Orthodox 95%, Protestant 0%, Catholic 1%

Czech Republic 2019: Orthodox 1%, Protestant 1%, Catholic 25%

Denmark 2019: Orthodox 1%, Protestant 62%, Catholic 2%

Estonia. Data is contradictory: in 2000 national data reports an even context, while in 2011 some report an Orthodox predominancy and some a Protestant (evidently because of renewed nearby Russian immigration into the EU). Most recent data by the EU shows a wide Orthodox predominancy, but given the 2011 contradictions I left it gray.

Finland 2019: Orthodox 2%, Protestant 60%, Catholic 1%

France 2019: Orthodox 2%, Protestant 2%, Catholic 41%

Germany 2019: Orthodox 2%, Protestant 24%, Catholic 30%

Sweden 2019: Orthodox 2%, Protestant 33%, Catholic 1%

United Kingdom 2018: Orthodox n.a., Protestant 15%, Catholic 7%. Data is contradictory however (in 2019 a EU study reported an even context).

  • Countries considered Western are the ones solidly colored as on this map only (striped colored countries were not considered Western)
  • Map may contain errors of topographic, geopolitical, data obsolescence nature or other.
  • Very small territories may not be depicted due to their size or picture resolution.
