Ummmmm…this is lacking a lot. In a lot of different ways too.
Hinduism was a bit surprising. Apparently, 67% of Mauritius’ inhabitants are of Indian descent.
What Hinduism doin all the way out there?
So every traditional african religions is not represented?
And don’t hit me with, “X an Y are not a religion its not on that precise list made to exclude most religious practices..”
no population density involved makes this data less beautiful
I mean this is one way to start a regional conflict. It might not surprise many, but this is a little more nuanced than this….
The thing that gets me is how wildly quickly Christianity spread in the last century after colonialism. Before 1800, it was only present in Ethiopia, the Kongo kingdom, and South Africa.
Looks like a colonization map
.. oh wait
“things I know because I played EU4” part 17
There isn’t one for all of the white area, Atlanteanism
They got this post on a tighter schedule than my transit
Missing Christian areas scattered in Egypt and Libya.
Bad graph. This is so oversimplified and boiled down I don’t know where to start.
This is majority religion. One region could be 99.9% and another 2% in a place with 99 other religions each being <2%. Not very meaningful
Poor minds don’t know, that god is dead.
Damn, not a single one of these are ours.
Durban South Africa has a huge Hindu population
British colonies, French Colonies, Arab colonies, Ethiopia.
Religions of Africa *ignoring local religions*
European diplomats looking at this and thinking we could just divide Africa up into 3 nice big countries, should be fine
Labeling Eswatini as majority Catholic seems inaccurate, if you believe Wikipedia.
What “data” is this supposed to represent, exactly?
I’ve been in cities split Catholic Churches on one side and mosques on the other in an area of Kenya that is fully blue. I think there’s a lot more overlap to the point some areas would look more speckled.
TIL there’s no African native / tribal religions in Africa. 0%
No mention of native religions? Various forms of animism? Yoruba? Etc.

So basically nothing that originated in Africa.
Do you mean majority religion, by country?
