The map description is lacking any sources. In addition, there are many mistakes. Some of these, concern countries with a majority non-religious population but these are not show as such, e.g. Czech Republic , Eastern Germany. Catholics minorities are not or only partly shown in the UK, Switzerland, Netherlands, USA to name a few countries. But above all where is the source! Grsd (talk) 20:25, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect map. What is the source ?[edit]

Obvious incorrect map, for example for distribution of religion for USA , refer http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2013/12/12/religion-in-americas-states-and-counties-in-6-maps/ . Many other mistakes, but the most important : the lack of a data source . Grsd (talk) 22:56, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Czech Republic, Netherlands, Eastern Germany[edit]

In above 2 countries , part of a country the dominating "religion" is not believing , I.e. Atheists. Map is showing something else. Grsd (talk) 22:59, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Germany 2011 census results[edit]

Below shown maps provide the actual distribution by major religion for Germany. The Chistianismo en el mundo map is not consistent with the 2011 census results. So yet another mistake.

  • Pre-dominant religious group according to census 2011, Catholics are dominant (I.e. The majority in the south and west, the Non-religious (incl. other religions and not specified) dominate in the east and the large cities, Protestants in the remainder of Germany)
    Pre-dominant religious group according to census 2011, Catholics are dominant (I.e. The majority in the south and west, the Non-religious (incl. other religions and not specified) dominate in the east and the large cities, Protestants in the remainder of Germany)

Estonia Census 2011 results[edit]

And yet another country that the map inaccurately designates as religious dominated, by protestants . Actually protestants make up just 10%. The dominating group are the non- believers followed by the orthodox. Refer tablebelow.

Another mistake -New Zealand[edit]

Predominant atheïst / Catholic areas in New Zealand are not shown , refer census 2013 results. Protestants make up less than a third of the population refer [[1]] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grsd (talk • contribs) 21:19, 5 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Every country I check is just incorrect[edit]

The Eastern part of Hungary is protestant not orthodox. This map is beyond believe with all the mistakes made. Additionally , Hungarian counties with predominant non-believers are as usual completely ignored in this map

recent census results not accounted for[edit]

In Switzerland , Germany (areas in Bayern) , Northern Ireland, Scotland recent census results show that historical protestant areas are now predominant catholic. For example, Belfast in Northern Ireland and Glasgow City in Scotland. There are also areas in these countries that have a predominant non religious population , these are ignored. In more detail for the UK focusing on Northern Ireland..

Districts of Northern Ireland by predominant religion as of the 2011 census. Blue is Catholic and red is Protestant.

In 2011 there were roughly 5,7 million Catholics in the United Kingdom; 4,155,100 in England and Wales,[3] 841,053 in Scotland (15.9%),[4][5] and 738,033 in Northern Ireland (40.76%).[6] In large parts of Northern Ireland, Catholicism is the dominant religion. Also in a few Scottish council areas , Catholics outnumber other religions including in the most populous one.; Catholics outnumber members of the Church of Scotland in Glasgow City (27 versus 23%). Other council areas in which catholics outnumber members of the Church of Scotland are North Lanarkshire, Inverclyde, and West Dunbartonshire, according to the 2011 Scottish Census.[7] There are also areas in these countries that have a predominant non religious population , these are ignored.
