Countries whose names begin with the letter A to C and N to Z are listed separately.
It is important to realize that these data are typically based on surveys of adults. In many countries, the vast majority of citizens are only nominally affiliated with a religious group. In much of Europe, less than 15% of the population actually attend church or other religious establishment weekly. In the U.S., about 40% say that they attend weekly; only 20% actually do. In Canada the corresponding numbers are about 20% and 10%

Data for Honduras is controversial. The CIA World Factbook at: https://www.cia.gov/ gives 97% Catholic; 3% Protestant. Operation World at: http://www.operationworld.org/ gives 23% Evangelical. CID Gallup gives 36% Evangelical/Protestant. Good luck to anyone who is trying to determine reality.
