# Appendix A: Religious category definitions

[![](https://alpha.pewresearch.org/pewresearch-org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2016/09/appendix_1.png?w=198){.align}](https://alpha.pewresearch.org/pewresearch-org/politics/2016/09/13/appendix-a-religious-category-definitions/appendix_1-png/)

The “Other Christian” category includes other minority Protestants as well as Protestants who declined to provide their race and a few white Protestants who were not asked the evangelical/born-again question; other minority Catholics as well as Catholics who declined to provide their race; Mormons; and Orthodox Christians. The “All others” category includes Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, members of other faiths, and those who declined to provide their religion; individually, each of these groups accounts for 2% or less of all registered voters.
