Here is the fact ባካፋ :lol:


The percentage of the population identifying as Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) adherents has seen a relative decline, while the percentage of Protestants (often referred to locally as P'ent'ay) has increased, leading to a shift in Ethiopia's religious demographics.

While the absolute number of Orthodox Christians has grown due to overall population growth, they are losing ground as a percentage of the total population, particularly among young people and in urban areas.

Key Trends in Ethiopian Demographics (2024-2026):
Orthodox Decline/Stagnation: Historically the dominant religion, the Orthodox population's percentage has dropped from 44-50% in past decades to approximately 40.1% to 43.8% in 2024 studies.

Protestant Increase: Protestant Christianity, particularly Pentecostalism, has grown rapidly, rising from a small minority in the late 20th century to approximately 20% to 22.1% of the population by 2024.

Shifting Affiliation: Many young people are leaving the EOTC to join evangelical and Pentecostal churches, a trend noted particularly in Addis Ababa.

Regional Differences: The EOTC remains dominant in northern regions like Amhara (82%) and Tigray (96%), while Protestantism has its strongest presence in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNP) and parts of Oromia.

Drivers of Change: The growth of Protestantism is driven by active evangelism and the perception of it being more modern, while the EOTC struggles with stagnation and challenges to its traditional role in the political and spiritual life of the nation.

Despite this shift, Orthodox Christianity still represents the largest Christian denomination in the country, and the Orthodox church remains deeply influential

Orthodox is amhara ethnic nationalism and expansionist ideology not christianity. ኮተት ነው :lol:
ሌላኛው እንጀራችሁ ማለት ነው!
Jehova witness is not even a christianity as they deny Jesus is God. በየ ደጁ እየሄዱ ስው ማጥመድ ነው ስራቸው:: They tried me many many times but failed. No interest to talk about them! የስህተት ትምህርት ተብለው ነው የሚታወቁት in main stream christianity. This includes ሃዋርያት እምነት of hailemariam desalegn which is called only Jesus!

Unfortunately christianity became most abused religion. It has been used for personal gain and conquer other nations too. There are many shameful things and mixed pagan and oral traditions done by people in the name of christianity that devalues the orignal teaching and meaning.
