I would be interested to see how Russia/the USSR has changed over the past century. More people seem to be religious in modern day Russia than the United States, which I wouldn’t expect, but it seems to remain the case.

These maps are never accurate. For instance, In Egypt according to religious institutions, there are millions of atheists, but they can’t legally identify as such!

Countries in white simply don’t have accurate data. Official records don’t count the number of atheists.

Many people in Europe are culturally or nominally religious at best. I’d say the number of non-believers is higher if we talk about ‚belief in God‘ and not affiliation.
Also that in many places, polling doesn’t have proper options for non-believers and in some places it is outright illegal to be one.
Good map regardless.

Korean and chinese people will tell you that they are atheist and than spend 10$ on a buddhist temple and pray to buddha for good luck. Its more hilarious since when i’m in a tour thats primary koreans they will pray inside cathdrals and in mosque even thought none of them are religious.

Subdivisions would be cool for that, it’s a very regional thing in some places.

I love the irony that in Germany the Protestant heartland was nuked by communism and it ended with a Catholic takeover, rendering the 30 years war completely moot.
People need to know that even though Japanese people classify themselves as „non religious“ they very much are not. They still believe in the superstitions that come from Shinto and still go to religious services during holidays such as New Years. Japanese don’t view their (what the rest of the world would call religious views) as religious views but instead their tradition.

Don’t think we can legally identify as an atheist in india

I often hear that china is a mostly athiest country. Maybe it is. But i think there are more religious people than we think. I don’t think smaller folk religions were included in the count. I could be wrong, but its definitely worth looking into.

This is wildly inaccurate. 75% of Norway’s population are non-religious (yet the map maxes out at „>50%“). It’s also perfectly plausible that there are countries where 90% of the population are non-religious
