A BahaiTeachings.org article by David Langness compiling worldwide Baha'i population estimates from several named sources: the Encyclopedia of Religion (2nd edition, 2005), stating a little more than one million Baha'is at the end of the 1960s rising to close to six million by the early 21st century; and, for 2010, the World Religion Database (7.3 million), the CIA World Factbook (7.8 million) and the Association of Religion Data Archives (7.6 million).
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
A Baha'i-affiliated informational website, not independent of the tradition it describes and carrying no visible publication date on the page itself, an absence named here rather than left silent; used only for its compilation of independently named third-party estimates (the Encyclopedia of Religion, 2nd edition, 2005; the World Religion Database; the Association of Religion Data Archives; and the CIA World Factbook), each attributed within the article and relayed here rather than treated as the article's own claim.
