The ''American Spectator'', writing in 2011 about research published in the ''International Bulletin of Missionary Research'', declared: "The report estimates about 80,000 new Christians every day, 79,000 new [[Islam|Muslims]] every day, and 300 fewer atheists every day. These atheists are presumably disproportionately represented in the West, while religion is thriving in the Global South, where [[Charismatic movement|charismatic Christianity]] is exploding."<ref>[http://spectator.org/archives/2011/02/28/thriving-christianity Thriving Christianity]</ref>

[[Evangelical Christianity]] is growing rapidly in the world (See: [[Growth of evangelical Christianity]]).
World Christian Database (WCD) provides comprehensive statistical information on world religions, Christian denominations, and people groups. It is edited by the scholars Dr. Todd Johnson and Dr. Brian Grim. The WCD estimates the number of [[evangelicalism|Evangelicals]] at 300 million individuals, [[Pentecostalism|Pentecostals]] and Charismatics at 600 million individuals and "Great Commission" Christians at 700 million individuals. These Christian groups are not mutually exclusive. Operation World estimates the number of Evangelicals at 550 million individuals.
