Religion Census - 2010

The latest religion census has come out, measures compiled from the 2010 census.
The census accounted for 236 varieties of religious traditions from Zoroastrianism to American Baptist. They differentiated between sects of Christianity.

The results are interesting to me. In Tarrant County, several denominations lost people: The American Baptists Association went down 72.9% from the 2000 census.Ba'hai, on the other hand, gained 32% with 1 fewer congregation overall, but a gain in membership.
The Catholic church picked up 34,000 people in Tarrant County, and Mormons picked up almost 10,000. Muslims gained 25,000 followers as well.

If you're interested in this sort of thing, I encourage you to check out the data! Here's a Summary.
And here is the link for the whole report!
