denominations are not included in the 2000 congregation and membership

*The “Unadjusted Totals” come from the 1990
and 2000 data collected by representatives of the Association of
Statisticians of American Religious Bodies (ASARB). While quite
comprehensive, this data excludes most of the historically
African-American denominations and some other major groups. As a
result, these numbers will be an underestimate of the total adherence
rate, particularly in areas with a large African-American population.
The 2000 data included 149 religious groups and the final results are
published in Religious Congregations and Membership in the United
States 2000. Copyright © 2002, All rights reserved. The 1990 data
included 132 groups and the final results are published in Churches and

**The “Adjusted Totals” include all adherents
in the denominations counted by the Association of Statisticians of
American Religious Bodies (ASARB) and estimates adherent totals for the
historically African-American denominations and other religious groups
not listed in the ASARB totals. An article by Roger Finke and Christopher P. Scheitle (2005) reviews how these estimates were computed.
†The adherence rate provides
the number of adherents of a particular group per 1,000 population. For
example, in 2000 the Episcopal Church had an adherence rate of
approximately 8 (8.1) in Autauga County, Alabama. This means that 8 out
of every 1,000 people in Autauga county are Episcopalian.
