adherents the eastern orthodox church also known as eastern orthodoxy is the second largest christian communion in the world after the roman catholic church with the most common estimates of adherents being around 220 million 1 2 3 eastern orthodox church is the third largest religious community in the world after sunni islam and the catholic church 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 overview edit as of 2024 eastern orthodoxy was the predominant religion in russia 62 12 where roughly half the world s eastern orthodox christians live it is heavily concentrated in the rest of eastern europe where it is the majority religion in ukraine 65 4 13 77 14 romania 73 15 greece 90 16 belarus 83 17 serbia 81 18 bulgaria 62 7 19 moldova 94 20 georgia 84 21 north macedonia 46 22 cyprus 74 23 and montenegro 71 24 significant orthodox minorities were present in several european countries bosnia and herzegovina 31 21 latvia 18 estonia 14 albania 7 25 lithuania 4 croatia 4 slovenia 2 and finland 1 5 in the former soviet republics of central asia eastern orthodoxy constituted the dominant religion in northern kazakhstan representing 24 of the population of the region in 2013 26 it was also a significant minority in kyrgyzstan 17 turkmenistan 5 uzbekistan 5 azerbaijan 2 21 and tajikistan 1 in the levant the most significant eastern orthodox populations are when in lebanon 8 27 syria 5 8 prior to the 2011 civil war in palestine 0 5 2 5 28 and jordan over 1 citation needed the percentage of christians in turkey home to an historically large and influential eastern orthodox community fell from 19 in 1914 to 2 5 in 1927 29 due to genocide 30 demographic upheavals caused by the population exchange between greece and turkey 31 and the emigration of christians to foreign countries mostly in europe and the americas 32 in 2021 there were 130 000 orthodox christians in turkey mainly adherents of the armenian apostolic orthodox church 33 in 2022 there was a large increase in the number of eastern orthodox christians in turkey to over 150 000 people this included approximately 100 000 people escaping the russian invasion of ukraine 34 in 2021 and 2022 the russian orthodox church opened more than 200 parishes throughout the continent of africa and had plans to build a cathedral in johannesburg 35 recent when immigration and missionary activity have raised citation needed the numbers of eastern orthodox adherents in traditionally catholic and protestant countries including australia austria germany italy spain canada and switzerland where they comprise roughly 2 of the population in each citation needed eastern orthodox population by country edit eastern orthodox population by country there is no universal agreement on the number of members of the eastern orthodox church in each country each study performed that seeks to discover the number of adherents in a country may use different criteria and be submitted to different populations as such some numbers may be inflated and therefore inaccurate examples of this are greece and russia where estimates of adherence to eastern orthodoxy may reach 80 98 but where surveys found lower percentages professing eastern orthodoxy or belief in god the likely reason for this disparity is that many people in majority eastern orthodox countries will culturally identify with the eastern orthodox church especially if they were baptized as children even if they are not currently practicing this includes those who may be irreligious yet culturally identify with the eastern orthodox church or for whom eastern orthodox christianity is listed on official state records other cases of incongruent data also might be due to counting ethnic groups from eastern orthodox countries rather than actual adherents for example the eastern orthodox jurisdictions in the united states which has large numbers of immigrants from eastern orthodox countries have collectively reported a total of 2 3 million across the country citation needed however a 2010 study by alexei krindatch sought data from each parish with the specific criteria of annual participation discovering that there were only about 817 000 eastern orthodox christians actively practicing their faith i e attending church services on a regular basis in the united states the study explained that such a difference was due to a variety of circumstances for example the higher numbers having counted all people who self identify as eastern orthodox on a census regardless of active participation or all people belonging to ethnic groups originating in eastern orthodox countries this study while initially controversial proved groundbreaking and has since been officially approved for use by the assembly of canonical orthodox bishops of the united states of america
