Is this supposed to depict the dominant religious affiliation at province level? It makes me feel like protestants got BTFO, like Islam is the religion of four major countries plus a billion square miles of uninhabitable desert, and like Orthodox Christianity fared better than it ever has in any of my Europa Universalis games where I wasn't playing an Orthodox country.
Also I'd like to know what that orange spot in Oman is. Is that supposed to be Hinduism? The result of migrant construction workers from India? I like how Astrakhan is still buddhist, though I kind of doubt that is really true today.
Oman is Ibadi, a school of Islam typical of the country
...
happy to know there's more and more atheists
Many questions.
Is that one part of the Caucasus buddhist?
Is grey China meant to represent state atheism? Did southern China escape from communist atheism?
Are those blotches of christianity in China significant?
How did all those Muslims and Christians get on the eastern side of India?
Random incursion of Muslims into Russia?
Why is there a big block of grey in Russia separating the two big blobs of Orthodoxy? Does that represent uninhabitable areas?
Is that hinduism in Oman?
what the FUCK?
Didn't know Czech was that atheist, it must be interesting to live in a place like that
Me thinks the green region needs some nukes
islam is like a disease spreading across the globe, we need to cure it
whats the blue east of Bangladesh?
The green cancer is spreading fast.

>Is that one part of the Caucasus buddhist?
Yes. Kalmykia.
>Is that hinduism in Oman?
Ibadi-ism.
I'm so Mr. Enlightened European. Can you please impart some of your great knowledge onto me, your lowly American servant?
>Ibadi-ism
makes me feel bad we are in the shit team
seriously except france we have exclusivey shithole countries, hwy aren't we protestant like the other white people ?
...
What's your problem, countrylet? Go be a cockhole somewhere else.
Interesting how the Soviets made Poland more Catholic, but also made Czechia and the DDR more atheist.
t. 56%
The Indian states of Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland which have very large Christian populations (specially, the latter two) and the Burmese state of Chin, which is similar.
>made Poland more Catholic
>Is that one part of the Caucasus buddhist?
Yes, read some history about the Oriats.
>How did all those Muslims and Christians get on the eastern side of India?
Read some history about East Pakistan and the Kashmir wars.
>Random incursion of Muslims into Russia?
Not random, just read some goddamn history.
>those blue dots in brazil
don't wait something from el goblino
The majority of these people are not explicitly atheists or even secular materialists/naturalists. "Non-religious" is a wide umbrella of which fedoras are but a part.
Nice reaction images, what else does your country produce?
Good communication skills sir, your participation in this dialog has been truly enlightening.
Don't even feed him you's, no point giving a "country" literally worse than Detroit any attention, kek.
Why is Indian religion brown?
Do you really have to ask?
It's orange you retarded memer.
Why is protestant religion blue?
Wrong.
>A recent study called Beliefs About God Across Time and Countries found that 52.1% of people asked whether they believed in God identified themselves as atheists.This compared with only 10.3% in western Germany

It doesn't get more explicit than saying 'I don't fucking believe in god.' I know it's hard to stomach for someone that has grown up completely immersed in a religious environment but yeah, there are places on earth where the majority of people are atheists.
What are South American protties like?
>implying that coloured parts of the map are all religious and go to curch often
...
They look like they're in one of those Televangelist things
Yes, you guessed it. American missionaries are exporting their protestantism of the televangelist persuasion all over SA.
This feels very sarcastic
Protestant Christians. Nagaland and Manipur got Anglo'd. Also English is the only official language of those states.
Well, it's true.
>Ibadi-ism.
No that's Hnduism practiced by Indian migrants.
I'm being sarcastic because it's once again one of those moments were Americans are ignorant about their own effect on the world, like wondering why Germany has strict free speech laws, why Japan doesn't have a military or why Iran is a theocracy now.
Ah, i see. I find it weird that Hinduism practiced by migrants is colored in whereas Muslim-migrant majority areas in Europe are not green.
>It doesn't get more explicit than saying 'I don't fucking believe in god.'
Until they qualify that with "I believe in some kind of divine life force or a westerner's misconception of karma or ghosts or spirits of some kind or whatever."
As I said, most of those people are not atheists in the secular materialist/naturalist sense insofar as they're "open" to various religious concepts. They're more accurately described as agnostics. Semantics I know but there are non-theistic religious sects and atheists who go to seances and so forth. There's nearly as much variety to being non-religious as there is to being religious.
I never implied that.
Sorry I don't keep track of the followings of televangelists
>Religion
>Useless
Pick one
Yes, as I'm very sure that every Euro on this board has been very well educated on the topic of Protestantism in South America
>As I said, most of those people are not atheists in the secular materialist/naturalist sense
This is irrelevant. Atheism alone doesn't make any statement about any of these issues. You are only ascribing these things to it because in your part of the world atheists happen to have share these views in these areas as well. Atheism only deals with the question of the existence of god and if you explicitly deny it then you are an atheist, period.
...
Insane fanaticals that believe the earth is 5000 years old
>This is irrelevant.
It's not. The BR was directly correlating what the map describes as "no religion" with "atheism". My point was that's not accurate, if it were a good chunk of what's yellow, pink, and brown would be gray for exactly the reason you gave which I never argued against.
it makes me inclined to say humbug!
I was christened so i count as Catholic but I'm about as Christian as Varg Vikernes, and my family on the paternal side has been non-practising since the 1920s.
>shoehorning Shinto in with Taoism
>all of Japan not being predominately Shinto
This map sucks, I want my money back
the Soviets never administered either of those areas
text
There are no muslim-majority areas big enough to be units on that map.
I never said they did
Protestantism was a mistake
Feels good, man.
Why?
>Christianity is devided into subsects, even meme ones like Mormonism
>Islam is one giant monolith
Thats because "sects" in Islam are based on politics, not religion
