Neutrality of "examples" section
[edit]I noticed the section presents the "persecution" of Lutherans as fact, while the general public may be better served with something along the lines of, "...which the Lutherans allege is a persecution," with a corresponding citation.--Bettering the Wiki (talk) 04:05, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
United Kingdom and corrections
[edit]This map had some major errors, so I fixed those errors, these errors were:
- The United Kingdom is only 9% Catholic and it was colored as a mix of Catholics and Protestants, while the United States which is 22% Catholic was colored as only Protestant, so I colored the United Kingdom as Protestant, because designating the UK as a mix of Catholics and Protestants but not the USA does not make any sense
- Kazakhstan is 70% Muslim and 26% Christian, so it should be completely green instead of being colored as a mix of Sunni and Orthodox.
- Puerto Rico was colored as Protestant, when in reality the majority are Catholic, so I colored it as such.
- Cuba was colored as a mix of Catholics and Folk religions, when in reality the majority are Catholic, so I colored it as such.
- Madagascar was colored as entirely Folk religion, when in reality is almost equally divided between Catholics and Protestants but with a strong syncretism with folk religions, so I colored it as such.
- Holland was for some reason with a weird color that I didn’t recognize, so I colored it as a mix of Catholics and Protestants because that’s what is in really.
- Estonia was colored as Protestant, when in reality the number of people who adhere to religion in Estonia is almost equally divided between Orthodox and Protestants, so I colored it as such.
China isn't Buddhism, it should be mixed or other religious, especially Uyghurs, they are Muslim.
[edit]As above. Please fix. Thanks. 92.40.177.186 (talk) 12:39, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
"The world's largest religious denomination is the Catholic Church."
[edit]I'm wondering about the validity of this sentence in the section's lede ("The world's largest religious denomination is the Catholic Church."). First of all, the graph seems to contradict this, since Sunni Islam has a higher percentage. Also, the lede for Sunni Islam states that it is the largest religious denomination in the world. One of the claims has to be wrong, so this sentence should probably be changed. Bob824 (talk) 19:26, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
