As of 2004, Christianity is the world's most widely practiced religion, with 2 billion adherents (followed by [[Islam]] with 1.3 billion, Hinduism with 841 million, and the nonreligious with 774 million). Christianity has many branches, including 1.1 billion [[Roman Catholicism|Roman Catholics]], 367 million [[Protestant churches|Protestants]] in a number of traditions, 216 million [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Orthodox]], 84 million [[Anglican church|Anglicans]], 414 million Independents (unaffiliated with the major streams of Christianity), and 31.7 million "marginal" groups ([[Jehovah's Witnesses]], Latter Day Saints ([[Mormonism|Mormon]]s), etc.), these last being denominations which describe themselves as Christian but are not standardly recognized as such by other denominations.
