Figures in the most recent edition of The World Christian Encyclopedia (Johnson and Zurlo 2020) draw on figures assembled and updated as part of the World Christian Database (WCD); these put those who identify as Christians at 46.3%, and Muslims at 46.2 and ‘ethnic religions’ at 7.2%. WCD figures predict that both Muslims and Christians will continue to grow as a proportion of the population through to 2050.

Their projections predict Christians at that point will make up on 48% of the population and Muslims at 48.7%, both growing at the expense of ethnic religions, down to 2.9% of the population.

Nigeria has some of the largest Christian and muslim populations in the world simultaneously. It is the largest Christian population in Africa and the 6th largest in the world. The World Fact Book reported muslim populations to be about 48% of the country as of 2021.

The last Religious Demographics carried out in Nigeria was in 1963. It then reported 41% muslims, 33% Christians and 26% pagans and traditionalists. Today about 13.0% of the population report Catholic; 36% Protestant; 48% muslim, and 3% others. The population is estimated at about 210 million in 2023.
