'''Islam''' is the predominant religion in Algeria, with its adherents, mostly Sunnis, accounting for 99% of the population according to a 2012 CIA World Factbook estimate, and 97.9% according to Pew Research in 2010. In the early 1980s, the '''Roman Catholic''' population numbered about 45,000, most of whom were foreigners or Algerians who had married French or Italians. A 2015 study estimates some 380,000 Christian believers from a Muslim background in the country, most of whom subscribe to some form of evangelical Christianity. The '''Protestant Church of Algeria''' is one of only two officially recognized Christian organizations in the country. Algeria is included in the episcopal area of North Africa of the '''Anglican Diocese of Egypt'''. <ref> Wikipedia contributors, "Religion in Algeria", in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia,'' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Algeria, accessed 15 March 2020.</ref> | '''Islam''' is the predominant religion in Algeria, with its adherents, mostly Sunnis, accounting for 99% of the population according to a 2012 CIA World Factbook estimate, and 97.9% according to Pew Research in 2010.
