The second most
"global" religion |
The Bahá'ís have established "significant" communities in
more countries and territories than any other independent religion with the exception of
Christianity. According to the 1992
Encyclopaedia Britannica Book of the Year, the Bahá'í Faith is established in 205
sovereign countries and dependent territories (see graph.)
This point was first made in 1982, in the
World Christian Encyclopedia. That volume reported on the work of some 500 scholars,
demographers and statisticians who conducted the first comprehensive survey of religious
believers worldwide.
