Atheists, Skeptics?[edit]

The article claims that almost 95% of Armenia's population follows Armenian Christian Church. That is hard to believe, becuase the country also has a high number of people who have no religion at all (atheists, agnostics, skeptics). I think some info should be found to demonstrate that. Has there been any such survey to show what percentage these minorities make? Pantonal (talk) 01:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am Kurdish who live in Armenia.The number of atheists or agnostics are really minimum.95-98% of population are christians. Attactos (talk) 11:53, 5 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Christianity since First Century>[edit]

If Christianity was introduced by two apostles in the first century, how is it that Christianity has only existed in Armenia for 1,700 years? Isn't that inconsistent? --Anietor (talk) 02:25, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

census data[edit]

I took a look at the reference for the census data and translated the table on page 7 (http://armstat.am/file/article/sv_03_13a_520.pdf) with massive help some online translating software.

Religion	Armenian	Population	Percent
Armenian Apostolic	Հայ Առաքելակ	2797187	92.66%
Catholic	Կաթոլիկ	13996	0.46%
Orthodox	Ուղղափա	7587	0.255
Nestorakan	Նեստորակ	1733	0.06%
Evangelical	Ավետարանակ	29280	0.97%
Jehovahs Witnesses	Եհովայի վկա	8695	0.29%
Protestant	Բողոքական	773	0,03%
Mormon	Մորմոն	241	0.01%
Molokan	Մոլոկա	2874	0,10%
Strand-Fadinakan	Շար-Ֆադինական	23374	0.77%
Heathen	Հեթանոսական	5416	0.18%
Muslim	Մահմեդական	812	0.03%
other		5299	0.18%
no religion		34373	1.14%
no reply		10941	0.36%
Chnshatsner	Չնշածն	76273	2.53%
Total		3018854	100%

However several of the words seem to have been transliterated rather than translated. Any idea what 'Strand-Fadinakan' or 'Chnshatsner' mean? Or Nestorakan or Molokan? Once we get that sorted out we can put this table in the article. --Erp (talk) 00:59, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Erp: Alright, so I don't know what Shar-Fadinakan means, but Chnshats means 'not marked', Heathen (Hetanosakan) refers to a type of Paganism, Nestorakan refers to the Church of the East (also called the Nestorian Church), and Molokan refers to a esoteric Christian sect from Russia. --92slim (talk) 00:23, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did some hunting on Shar-Fadinakan and it seems to refer to the religion practiced by most Yazidis (who are also counted as an ethnic group in the census). It shows up as a stub article Sharfadin --Erp (talk) 08:24, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Religion percentage in Armenia[edit]

Hi everyone, I would like to change the percentage of religion in Armenia to its correct number, the numbers that were given aren't calculated correctly and in other countries I have found that the number I want to give is correct. Can you all give me permission to edit the page to give in the correct number? Artasheshian (talk) 10:29, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
