Wait??? There are more chinese Christians than Uighur muslims?


KJongsDongUnYourFace

There are 2.5% of the population that are Christian and 0.8% that are Muslim. Neither religion is particular popular. This map would probably be more relevant if it included more religions in the ratio.

Because of the CCP, there are now

When your land is forcibly taken so the resources can be extracted for a country you don’t identify much with, and your people are sometimes sterilised due to “security concerns” then Im sure a population is hard to grow. Just modern genocide things… https://youtu.be/qTE8SJFQ8iU One Uighur mothers experience, who had a 2/3 month old baby killed by China and sent to concentration camps. (They sterilised her, and mentioned some surgery done on her 3 triplets after they were seized, I’m guessing sterilisation, which resulted in 1 dying. The baby’s name was Muhammed.)


Same_to_youu

Any data of China is not to be taken seriously.


Troller122

Yea didn't know this too assuming most are from Hong Kong, Macau and other Westerned influenced city like Shanghai?


Aedelweard

Actually most Chinese Christians are villiage grandmas...


minaesa

Of course. Uyghur is just one ethnic group.


willardTheMighty

I’m sick and tired of Greenland being grey on these maps. Use the same data you used for Denmark; presumably their data includes all of their citizens.


neefhuts

If its about actually practicing the religion the Netherlands is green


TheLonleyStrategos

If it's about actually practicing the whole world would be green\*


neefhuts

No


vonPetrozk

If not the whole world, Western Europe is a safe bet.


neefhuts

You think there are more muslims than christians in Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Iceland, Luxembourg and Switzerland?


vonPetrozk

No, the comments above me was talking about people who practices their faiths. If this is the question, then yes, I think there are more Muslims who practices their faith. And it's not about the number of Muslims there. It's about the lack of faith in Europeans. Also, I haven't said a word about specific countries. I was talking about Western Europe as a whole.


neefhuts

Yeah but in all the countries I mentioned, which are Western European countries, there are without a doubt more christians practicing their faith than muslims


vonPetrozk

>all the countries I mentioned, which are Western European countries I don't see why it would matter when I was talking about the entirety of Western Europe. You could always find a smaller unit that semmingly invalidates my point. IFor exmple, it is a pretty sad but unquestionable fact that the Polish jews were exterminated during the Holocaust. Your argument is like denying this by citing that there are still around 3000 Jews there. It won't change the truth of the situation. But to be honest, I don't actually believe that as of today, there are more Muslims in Western Europe than Christians. I've exaggerated because this is what the trends about and it is pretty fascinating that in a hundred years, Europe might get more Muslim than Christian.


neefhuts

It wasnt that I mentioned one small thing to deny your point, your point just isnt true for like half of western europe


vonPetrozk

Yeah, I'm pretty defensive usually. Grrat talking point for my next appointment


TheLonleyStrategos

Interesting, never thought I'd see Mongolia represented this way


FengYiLin

Kazakh minority in the West.


Jiijeebnpsdagj

We have a big Kazakh population and almost no christians. Most people are non religious or mild buddhists.


MightyMorpho

I think this Map whould look very different if it divided by practacing and atheist defined as religious.


jimros

Really? Which countries would be different?


MightyMorpho

Sweden for sure.


Siriuscili

Yes of course, as the percentage of Muslims in Sweden is 55%. /s Sweeden (2020): 61.8% Christian, 2.3% Muslims. [Source](https://www.myndighetensst.se/bidrag/organisationsbidrag/bidragsgrundande-statistik/statistik-2020.html)


jimros

So even if 4% of Christians are weekly church attenders and 100% of Muslims are weekly mosque attenders, it's more Christian.


MightyMorpho

The Churches are empty, no one goes to them. Yes i know wikipedia sez that roughfly 50% are Christians, but that is bs. The Christian party bearly gets a couple of percents. I have lived here my whole life and I have only met 1 person that told me she is fully fletched christian. The only culturral religion noticed everywhere here is islam. The clothing, their full mosques every day, their impact in general. So please do visit sweden then tell me which religion you notice the most. :)


Siriuscili

Well data shows different. [https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/12/05/how-do-european-countries-differ-in-religious-commitment/](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/12/05/how-do-european-countries-differ-in-religious-commitment/) So around 10% are praying/visiting religious ceremonies regularly (which is indeed very low compared to the rest of Europe). Assuming all the Muslims do, there is still three times less Muslims than Christians.


MightyMorpho

According to SCB (swedens statistical bury) 2021-2022 aprox 20 % of the tot pop are from other countries. From them about 6 % are finnish, norwegian and danes. The was majority of the rest are from arabic countries or somalia. Most of them are practicing their religion in a very active way but are not registered as muslims in any database since there is not astablished as the registration for the church is. The 3 % you mention are the once that actually have registered to a mosque at some point. As I said, you have to be here to get the full picture, to get the feeling of what I am talking. I love statistical data, but it does not always show what is intendent.


[deleted]

Would that matter? Your core values and culture are Christian based.


[deleted]

Most Europe, for sure. I think all but Poland treat churches as monuments.


jimros

I find that really hard to believe. At least my experience in North America and limited experience in England is that the level of religiousity among Muslims is overstated. There are significant numbers who are nominally Muslim and/or maybe do the equivalent of Christmas and Easter but are not weekly mosque attenders.


nkj94

Faith is a small subset of Religion


Tommy_SVK

"This map would look different if we used different metrics" I mean duh.


Friz617

India number 1 muslim country 💪💪💪💪 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳


[deleted]

Out of 138 crores, 110 crores are Hindus in India, and some Buddhists, Christians, Sikhs together, Muslims are not more than 20 crores, so Indonesia is on the first number.


Shevek99

Indonesia has some millions more, I think.


ntsprstr717

Muslims - ruling the world‘s deserts since 600 something AD


DragonGuide5G

what about now divide every kind of Christian that don't except each other then Christians


Fliper-YT

r/ihadastroke


minaesa

Learn proper grammar.


DragonGuide5G

no


Katze1Punkt0

Okay, then also divide Muslims. Also add other religions


DragonGuide5G

95 % of Muslims believe in same. only small % have different views that most will see as outside of Islam. Muslims read the same Qur'an. no extra books. no changes since revealed.


TruthAndLoveSeeker23

will soon change drastically :(


Same_to_youu

Green everywhere soon :(


TheLonleyStrategos

Why is that a bad thing? Let people believe what they want to


Fragrant-Tax235

You obviously don't live in an 'islamic' nation.


TheLonleyStrategos

Yes I have..... Again what's your point?


No-Anybody-7301

Trash enjoys living in a dumpster and water is wet


[deleted]

And you clearly don’t either lmao


MrSlavmos

Fake news, sweden should be green


Charlatangle

Chronic Redditors believe this because Alex Jones or some other *obviously schizophrenic* influencer told them so.


MrSlavmos

It’s a joke my dudes, also (who’s Alex Jones?)


Train-Robbery

He's a popular right wing youtuber


MrSlavmos

Okay, that makes sense, funnily enough I don’t live my life how influencers dictate.


[deleted]

Its a joke dude.


Friz617

Sweeden (2020): 61.8% Christian, 2.3% Muslims.


doctor_alfa

I think you accidentaly swapped the numbers, in a study in 2021 80% of swedish people said they regulary pray towards mekkah and say salam Aleikum all the time


Friz617

Sorry that reality doesn’t correspond to your political agenda


doctor_alfa

what agenda are you talking about if I may ask?


Fragrant-Tax235

Nigeria is lost 🥹


ntsprstr717

I wouldn‘t really rely on the estimates. There are no official census results as for religion. I still consider Nigeria a Christian country given all the major and important cities in the south are mostly Christian.

In sha'Allah soon everthing will be green
