The US Department of State's annual International Religious Freedom Report on Ethiopia, part of the same report series already used elsewhere in this atlas, covering religious demographics including estimates for Waaqeffanna (Oromo indigenous religion) adherents that vary between roughly 1.1 million (about 3 percent of the Oromo population) and 5 million depending on methodology.

Reliability Tier1
Tier 1: the US State Department's own official annual report, the same class of source already used widely for religious freedom facts; the PDF could not be directly accessed (blocked to automated access), but the range is independently corroborated by three separate scholarly and NGO sources.
