World Christian Encyclopedia outlines Barrett bulk religious counts
David B Barrett, an aeronautical engineer turned priest, has spent four decades compiling world religion data. His 1900 1970 1990 1995 and 2000 counts cover 238 nations with 444 contributors, detailing 10,000 distinct religions and 33,830 Christian denominations. Barrett argues the work serves as a mission support tool and notes shifts toward independent churches and Pentecostal movements.
