As of 2020, Christians remained the majority in 120 of 201 nations and territories analyzed, a decline from 124 in 2010. Statistically, that means Christian-majority countries accounted for 60% of all countries surveyed as opposed to 62% just 10 years earlier.
Over a decade, the Christian-identified populations in the U.K., France, Uruguay, and Australia dipped below 50%, with the percentage of those identifying as religiously unaffiliated ticking upward.

Notably, this shift makes Uruguay the first country in the Americas to no longer boast a Christian majority. Fifty-two percent of its population is now religiously unaffiliated and only 44% is Christian. In the U.K., France, and Australia, no one religious group holds a clear majority.
