What this measures
Share of the population identifying as Christian, in % of population. Source: Pew Research Center. For this measure, no agreed better direction.
All Christian traditions together. The world's largest religion, and the one whose spread most closely follows income. Adjusting for GDP is there to remove that. No "better" direction is set.
