2. Nah; just in the US. I'm trying to determine...

...what percentage of the Adult US population are biblical literalists, what percentage would self-describe as 'born-again', what percentage would self-describe as 'fundamentalist', etc.

This isn't bad in terms of religious breakdown by population:

but isn't very clear about the percentage of each denomination that see the bible as the literal word of God.
