Adherents
In 1999 the following membership statistics were reported:
Sex - female - 53%, male - 47%,
Age - 25-34 - 34%, 35-44 - 30%, with the remaining ranging from 16 to over 70
Locality - USA - 90%, other countries (including all continents except Africa and Antarctica) - 10%
Previous religious affiliation - Christianity (various forms) - 56%, Agnostic or Atheist - 10%, Wiccan/Neopagan/etc. - 5%, other world religions - 29%
Although stats have certainly changed since then, perhaps most notably in the location, with an increasing number of converts living outside the US, they hold close to current numbers. In recent years a small number of youth who grew up in the faith have become members in their own right, although estimates are that such members make up less than 5% of Kemetic Orthodoxy's total membership.

Famous quotes containing the word adherents:
“Christianity is the religion of melancholy and hypochondria. Islam, on the other hand, promotes apathy, and Judaism instills its adherents with a certain choleric vehemence, the heathen Greeks may well be called happy optimists.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
