Adherents:
The data was adapted from: http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
The "World Population Total" of 6,790 (6,789.7), closely matches a Fall'2009
value from:
http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html
The value of 170, used for "Christ's Congregation
of Born Again Christians
who Overcome",
has been set to 2.5% of the "World Population Total" (170
= 6,789.7 x .025 = 169.743),
based on values established in "How many will
be in Heaven ?"
Similarly, in a typical group of 100 Christians (80 Born Again +
20 not = 100),
how many would you expect to Overcome ?
(Multiplying 80 by our 0.311349 factor (see BA-CC)
= 25 = 1 quarter (1/4) of the 100 Christians.)
For a vivid example of this, read "The Christian's
Sword defeats (overcomes) Lucifer and his Army"
to see what it takes to Overcome !!!
(This typical group exactly matches the "other Protestant" line in Table
5 below (80.0% Born Again),
but this typical group of 100 could be any mix of Christians from various
denominations.)

Percent of
Total:
These values are calculated by dividing the "# of Million Adherents" values,
by the "World Population Total" of 6,790 (6,789.7).
# in 40:
(For each
line, how many people, in a typical group of 40 people worldwide, will
be on this line)
These values are calculated by multiplying the "Percent of Total" values
by 40.
Example: 2.5% x 40 = 1.0
