Protestants are those belonging to denominations descended from the Protestant Reformation in Europe.
They include Baptists, Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists, some Pentecostals, and many others.
More Protestants are now found in the Global South than Global North, with more Anglicans worshipping on a Sunday morning in Nigeria than in England.
Independents do not identify as Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant.
Independents are spread throughout the globe and are most conspicuous in contexts like China, Brazil, the United States, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
