Incorrect map. What is the source ?
[edit]Obvious incorrect map, a few examples given below. Many other mistakes, but the most important : the lack of a data source . In the EU, the areas where protestants dominate is much smaller than shown.
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. Due to a faster erosion of protestant membership, more areas in the Netherlands have a catholic population that is larger than all protestant groups together.
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)
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.
