Actually, add another 15 million too. I forgot about the Southern Baptists.

Okay, thanks.
I’m looking for rates of growth or decline. The article you linked to evoked a theory I recall that a growth in fundamentalism is a reactive impulse as the world grows more secular. Sort of last throes of bullshit that peak while dying. It’s very interesting.

Self-identified what? Fundamentalist?
OK, so now by your criteria, Mormons don’t count, for two reasons. They do not identify as fundamentalist (though they do as Christian), and the LDS Church has no doctrinal position on the creation. Members make up their own minds as to what they think about that, so it covers the entire spectrum and it’s not an important issue (though IME a 24/7 creation belief is quite rare). On the whole they take the Bible literally, but somewhat differently than mainstream Christians do. There are 5 million Mormons in the US and I believe ~13 million worldwide–at least half of those are converts–so you can take them out.
I don’t know about JWs since I’m not familiar enough with their doctrine to say, but IIRC they have interesting opinions about Christ.
Anabaptists differ a lot within sects, but I don’t know a lot about doctrinal details.
I hope that helps you narrow things down a bit.
