The Bible Answer
The term "Christian church" to a Christian is equal to the "color blue" to an artist. There is sky blue, steel blue, royal blue, turquoise, teal, aqua and other endless categories. If you are a Christian, you also wander through these labels. These sub categories in Christianity are called sects. (Otherwise meaning a branch from the original.) A good number of the sects are exceptionally “extreme” for some people to feel at ease. The more lenient and convenient is all the more popular. This would explain some of the number differences. Another contributor is location. Urban area churches are different than rural. The neighborhood, the inhabitants, and the cultural influence also affect the numbers. So it all depends on where you live, who you hang around and which town you hang around in. But in general, a lot of people feel more comfortable in churches that have minimal activities and expectations. Another important factor is if most are just following the crowd—which would result in large congregations as well!
