A number of faith groups have been founded in North America. Native spirituality dates back to pre-historic time. Most of the recent groups started as breakaway sects from Christianity, and later evolved into separate Christian churches. Others are considered non-Christian religions:

Note 1: Many natives follow a combination of Christianity and traditional Native Spirituality; they have probably not been included in this total.

Note 2: Teen-age "dabblers" not included. Accurate data cannot be obtained for this religion. 

Data were taken from the 1994 World Almanac unless otherwise noted.
