Based on the numbers of adherents, the Eastern Orthodox Church (also known as Eastern Orthodoxy) is the second largest Christian communion in the world, after the Roman Catholic Church, with the most common estimates of adherents being around 220 million.[1][2][3]

Eastern Orthodox Church is the third-largest religious community in the world, after Sunni Islam and the Catholic Church.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

Overview

As of 2024, Eastern Orthodoxy was the predominant religion in Russia (62%),[12] where roughly half the world's Eastern Orthodox Christians live. It is heavily concentrated in the rest of Eastern Europe, where it is the majority religion in Ukraine (65.4%[13]–77%),[14] Romania (73%),[15] Greece (90%),[16] Belarus (83%),[17] Serbia (81%),[18] Bulgaria (62.7%),[19] Moldova (94%),[20] Georgia (84%),[21] North Macedonia (46%),[22] Cyprus (74%)[23] and Montenegro (71%).[24]

Significant Orthodox minorities were present in several European countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina (31%),[21] Latvia (18%), Estonia (14%), Albania (7%),[25] Lithuania (4%), Croatia (4%), Slovenia (2%), and Finland (1.5%). In the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, Eastern Orthodoxy constituted the dominant religion in northern Kazakhstan, representing 24% of the population of the region in 2013.[26] It was also a significant minority in Kyrgyzstan (17%), Turkmenistan (5%), Uzbekistan (5%), Azerbaijan (2%),[21] and Tajikistan (1%). In the Levant, the most significant Eastern Orthodox populations are[when?] in Lebanon (8%),[27] Syria (5–8% prior to the 2011 civil war) in Palestine (0.5%–2.5%)[28] and Jordan (over 1%). The percentage of Christians in Turkey, home to an historically large and influential Eastern Orthodox community, fell from 19% in 1914 to 2.5% in 1927,[29] due to genocide,[30] demographic upheavals caused by the population exchange between Greece and Turkey,[31] and the emigration of Christians to foreign countries (mostly in Europe and the Americas).[32] In 2021, there were 130,000 Orthodox Christians in Turkey (mainly adherents of the Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church).[33] In 2022, there was a large increase in the number of Eastern Orthodox Christians in Turkey to over 150,000 people; this included approximately 100,000 people escaping the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[34]

In 2010, there were 39 million Oriental Orthodox Christians in Africa, although 39 million of them lived in Ethiopia or Eritrea; in 2021 and 2022, the Russian Orthodox Church opened more than 200 parishes throughout the continent, and had plans to build a cathedral in Johannesburg.[35]

Recent[when?] immigration and missionary activity have raised the numbers of Eastern Orthodox adherents in traditionally Catholic and Protestant countries, including Australia, Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada and Switzerland, where they comprise roughly 2% of the population in each.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}

However, a 2010 study by Alexei Krindatch sought data from each parish, with the specific criteria of annual participation, discovering that there were only about 817,000 Eastern Orthodox Christians actively practicing their faith (i.e., attending church services on a regular basis) in the United States. The study explained that such a difference was due to a variety of circumstances, for example the higher numbers having counted all people who self-identify as Eastern Orthodox on a census regardless of active participation, or all people belonging to ethnic groups originating in Eastern Orthodox countries. This study, while initially controversial, proved groundbreaking, and has since been officially approved for use by the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America. [36]

  66. ↑ There is no official census of religion in Russia, and estimates are based on surveys only. In August 2012, ARENA determined that about 46.8% of Russians are Christians (including Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, and non-denominational), which is slightly less than an absolute 50%+ majority. However, later that year the Levada Center determined that 76% of Russians are Christians, and in June 2013 the Public Opinion Foundation website, How many Russians believe in God, go to church and pray their prayers? determined that 65% of Russians are Christians. These findings are in line with Pew's 2010 survey, which determined that 73.6% of Russians are Christians, with VTSIOM's 2010 survey (~77% Christian), and with Ipsos MORI 's 2011 survey (69%).
