The only countries in the world that are NOT majority Christian or majority Muslim.

Here's what else the OP's ad hoc list is missing, whatever its secret point is supposed to have been: the distinction between "what religion one practices" and "what one answers on a survey":

>> At the end of 2016, 61.2% of Swedes belonged to the Church of Sweden; this number has been decreasing by about 1.5 percentage points a year for the last 5 years and one percentage point a year on average for the last two decades.[231][232][233] Approximately 2% of the church's members regularly attend Sunday services.[234] The reason for the large number of inactive members is partly that, until 1996, children automatically became members at birth if at least one of the parents was a member. <<​

Here's why New Zealand is a significant omission too. NZ was once easily counted in the "Christian" category, as were many "western/Euro" nations, but as the time fades when state religions forced citizens into a category, their citizenry have taken the liberty to move away from them, ranging from some 62% Christianity in Belgium on last report (such census questions no longer exist there) to under 60% in Germany and the UK, to barely over 50% in France to under 44% in Holland, to some 30% in Estonia, to about 13% in the Czech Republic where interestingly over a third report "no religion".

So technically (to use the OP's term) he's got to add not only Benin, Togo, Maruitius, Madagascar and New Zealand to his list, whatever its mysterious purpose might be, but also from Europe alone, the Netherlands, Estonia and the Czech Republic, with more knocking at the door to join.

How many are murdered or were murdered because they dont teach kids about God anymore?

Where is your evidence that any of these places are in their current condition because nobody teaches God?
Back in my day, before class started in "public elementary school" we had a quick prayer to God. We also were taught that if you did bad things you went to hell for it. Boy when you grow up knowing you are going to be with the Kennedy brothers or worse, Robert Byrd, burning in hell, you tried to tow the straight and narrow road. But then along came 50 shades of grey, instead of black and white, and so what starts out as a little "EVIL", soon escalates to a lot of EVIL, just look at Hillary and her dead people she leaves behind when they cross her. Look at Obama, and his killing of US citizens without due process. Look at Antifa and BLM, who go out of their way to assassinate the men in blue who are doing their job in protecting the assholes who want to kill them. Now for my apology.

I am sorry that you are too stupid not to see what is going on around you, because since they dont teach, Good and Evil in school anymore, those EVIL people go out of their way, to murder other people. Just look at the Las Vegas Shooter, a Bernie Supporter who shot up conservative kids at a country western event. Still haven't heard much else about the guy, because the liberal media wont show how fucked up their side is...

So how about you explain to us all how two antichrists manage to engage in genocide slaughtering millions of people when belief in God was far more embedded in society than today
Because like with Socialism the 4 antichrists managed to kill millions and it took, a faith in God to bring in the saviors of the day to defeat the first 2, but still have 2 to go. Hillary and Obama still walk free, but soon they two will be brought to justice...

But God was taught in school? How could it have possibly happened?

Right wing conservative Christian gun nuts shot up those people.

Orlando and San Bernardino were not rightwing Christian's and Boston bombing was not either...

You'd be hard pressed to find religious motivations in any of the mass shootings the left constantly attributes to their white male christian boogeyman. Two of the most deadly school shooters were Asian boys. The Vegas shooter had the look of a degenerate leftist, he targeted a country music concert. Nicholas Cruz was a fucked up-looking racial hybrid of jewish and cuban and who knows what else.

If it is not Muslim then it must be rightwing nutters in the left eyes.

Take Zimmerman and how long did it take those nutters to realize the man was not white?
Or that he was a concealed carrying Democrat, that was just doing his job of neighborhood watch, and was mistaken for a gay guy by a black thug how tried to beat the white fagot to death. Unlucky for George that he didnt tell the lame stream media he was a latino first...
 
Now list the collective population of those countries.

Hell just do China and India.

Next question --- how did they end up in this order? It's good to see "Nipple" and "Button" next to each other though.

The question after that --- nothing listed from Africa?

Also ---------- sources?


Was there a point coming with this thread?

Yep, India and China have overproduced when it comes to people. The mistakes of just two countries. Good thing the United Nations only allows one vote per country.

As for order I tried to go from West to East. That's why I started with Israel.

Africa is pretty much either Christian or Muslim. Muslim in the north, in the center is where you get some splits between Muslim and Christian. There might be some splits where neither adds up to 50%. But they would still be majority, 50% or greater Abrahamic religions. The south of Africa is pretty much Christian majority.

Just look up on wiki majority Christian countries, or majority Muslim countries. There are shaded world maps for both showing which countries are at a particular percentage level.

The main point of coming up with this thread was to save this list in a spot I could look at again.

Whelp, you missed at least five countries in Africa as I noted in post 8 and some others. If you're going to make a list and declare "these are all there of of X", then you can't leave those out. Nor did you address either the dichotomy question (syncretism) or the meanings of such a label. Where such surveys are done at all (in Luxembourg for example it's illegal), respondents will very often answer with what they're expected to say, which tells us nothing about their level of investment in said meticulous label. Is a respondent who answers "Lutheran" just because that's what his parents ostensibly practiced but he hasn't bothered since he was 16, the same "value" as the nun who goes to church every day? In such a list, both would have to equal the value of "one".

Most Canadians will give a "Christian" answer, but at the same time they'll also note that religion is not something important in their daily lives. So even if this list IS fixed to be more accurate, and even then only as an abstract group of labels ------ what's the point of making it?

I already mentioned the point of making it.

This was not an attempt to measure level of religiosity.

If you have any sort of a supernatural belief, its likely influenced by Christianity or Islam in all the countries of the world except the 17 in the list.

No actually you didn't address that question at all. You only said you wanted to have a list here to go to but you didn't say why you would WANT to go to it.

The only reason I can guess to make up such an abstract classification, given all the grey areas in trying to force people-pegs into strict holes, is to divide them up into "us" and "them" camps. What other purpose can it have?

Religion is a private, personal matter. As long as you find your own, what business is it of ours what everybody else is doing?

Do you know what sociologist, anthropologist and even political scientist do? They measure these types of things. So does the CIA and the Military. Its knowledge about other people and places. Polling companies like Pew research and Gallup collect a lot of this information. So does any one writing a tour guide etc.

Why the hostility to the list? There is not such a list on the internet. So I decided to make one myself. I think its interesting.
What is really disturbing about most of the shootings that have recently happened in the US, that were by leftist radicals or Muslims? They were all at one time under a FBI alert and not one god damn thing was done to stop or at least try to stop the events. That was under a liberal President who droned US citizens and their children..


Thanks Obama....

Satan is the major influence on the ideals, opinions, goals, hopes and views of the majority of people. His influence also encompasses the world’s philosophies, education, and commerce. The thoughts, ideas, speculations and false religions of the world are under his control and have sprung from his lies and deceptions.

Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals
Opening page - Dedication
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
In the United States, there are two books at play right at this moment. The Rules for Radicals(Lucifer) and the Bible(God). One is followed by the liberals, the other by law abiding US citizens. Some are misguided because the father of Lies is there to sway you from God. Right now Lucifer is laughing at all you dumbass liberals for falling for his tricks.

Hillary Clinton's 1969 Political Science Thesis ("There is Only the Fight") refers to an earlier version of Alinsky’s training manual. "In 1946,” she wrote, "Alinsky's first book, Reveille for Radicals, was published."
Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday." --Letter from L. DAVID ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky

:laughing0301: "Lucifer"? "Father of Lies"? Really dood? What are you, three years old? Do you have monsters under the bed when the lights go out too? Anything else? Tooth fairy? Boggarts? Leprechauns? Things that go bump in the night?

FTR I never heard of "Saul Alinsky" until Glenn Beck dredged him up from parts unknown. I couldn't care less what his book dedication says but does it occur to you that maybe he did that as a mocking of you Gullibles who actually think that's a real entity?

More broadly, what kind of fucked-up planet do you come from where people need to "follow" a book at all? A herd of sheep? Ever hear of "critical independent thought"? How 'bout "free will"? What would your fellow-followers ever do without a book to dictate to them which way to go?

The only countries in the world that are NOT majority Christian or majority Muslim.

01. Israel
02. India
03. Nepal
04. Bhutan
05. Sri Lanka
06. Burma
07. Thailand
08. Laos
09. Cambodia
10. Vietnam
11. China
12. Mongolia
13. North Korea
14. South Korea
15. Singapore
16. Taiwan
17. Japan

Out of the 197 countries that make up the world, only the above 17 are NOT majority Christian or majority Muslim. The other 180 countries are divided between 130 majority Christian countries and 50 majority Muslim countries.

Not only is this list woefully incomplete (nothing listed in Africa such as Benin, Liberia, Madagascar, Mauritius or Togo which would all apply, as would New Zealand) ---- but it also fails to take into account syncretism, where elements of various religious practices are conjoined to form a new practice, as in for example the blending of Roman Catholicism with West African practices collectively known as Candomblé (in Brazil), Santería (in the Spanish Caribbean) and Voudoun (in the French Caribbean). Clearly these are cases where more than one category of "religion" apply on a large scale. It takes place wherever cultures meet and mix and introduce foreign ideas.

Such a list seems to be fixated on an either/or dichotomy, as if it's somehow necessary for a population or person to pick one from Column A or one from Column B, to the exclusion of everything else on the list, which just isn't how human societies work. Religions are not either/or deals. Like anything else it's entirely possible, and fruitful, to take new ideas that are perceived to be good ones and reject those from the same source that are not, and incorporate them into one's own life. Hell, that's how I do it. Give me such a checklist and I'll have marks all over the page.

Perhaps this list is intended to illustrate how much the two noted religions spread themselves by force (?). I had a Lithuanian GF who proudly boasted that her country was the last in Europe to be Christianized. :)




Madagascar: 92% Christian, 3% Muslim

That makes this hard to explain:
>> Religions: Traditional beliefs 52%, Christian 41%, Muslim 7%.<< --- from the US State Department

Small variations could be dismissed. 92 versus 41 cannot.
This is --- AGAIN --- where syncretism comes in. You don't seem to want to acknowledge that. Why?
Which means, a syncreticist could be counted either way.
.

Benin: 48.5% Christian, 27.7% Islam. Not technically majority Christian or Muslim, but still majority Abrahamic religious identity in terms of any supernatural beliefs.


Mauritius: 32.7% Christian, 17.2% Islam. Not technically majority Christian or Muslim, but still majority Abrahamic religious identity in terms of any supernatural beliefs.


Togo: 43.7% Christian, 14% Islam. Not technically majority Christian or Muslim, but still majority Abrahamic religious identity in terms of any supernatural beliefs.

New Zealand: 49% Christian, 1.2% Islam. Not technically majority Christian or Muslim, but still majority Abrahamic religious identity in terms of any supernatural beliefs.


Now you're moving your own goalposts from "Christian vs Islam" to "Abrahamic". Guess that move means you have to pull Israel off your list too.

Can't have it both ways. Again ----- WHAT IS YOUR POINT in this thread? And why can't you show any sources for what is by now obviously a flawed list?

If you actually have sources what do they say about Surinam? Or Belize? Or the Czech Republic? Because they're not on your list either.

I listed the sources and definitions. If you want to pull your hair out and nit-pick about one particular country that may just be a plurality based on one poll rather than a majority, go ahead. In general though, the list is sound. For some countries, it will obviously depend on which source you are using.

Moving the goalposts for what? I can re-edit the initial post and thread title to read Abrahamic instead of majority Christian and majority Muslim, if that would please you. Yep, Israel would not be on the list then. So what?

Every country in the western hemisphere is above 50% Christian. Just look at the map done for the wiki link to majority Christian countries. The majority of people in the Czech Republic have some form of belief in the supranatural and that is largely influenced by Christianity, so no, that would not make the list.
 
Columbine was done by atheist who hated Christians.

Uh rrrrrrrrrrrrrreally. You mean they went around surveying the religious investments of their victims first? :eusa_doh:

Its in their journal writings.

Uh, no, it's not. There's actual video. They shot up whoever was an available target.

Mass shooter violence is all about carnage. Body count. Blood volume. Decibels of screams. They don't give a shit about religions.

Their atheism and hatred of Christianity was expressed in their journal writings which were recovered from the homes they lived in.

And you can't link these either, amirite?

Look it up yourself. I found it on the wiki page for the tragedy.

How polite.
 
There's a Vigorous exercise of religion in South Korea, the "Jerusalem of the East", the "Land of Hananim". Besides, how did you ever include any Other countries in a "Majority" practice of Christianity? Historical landmarks?

Its 29% in South Korea. The polling data I have seen on what most likely influences peoples supranatural beliefs is what this is based on.
 
Here's what else the OP's ad hoc list is missing, whatever its secret point is supposed to have been: the distinction between "what religion one practices" and "what one answers on a survey":

>> At the end of 2016, 61.2% of Swedes belonged to the Church of Sweden; this number has been decreasing by about 1.5 percentage points a year for the last 5 years and one percentage point a year on average for the last two decades.[231][232][233] Approximately 2% of the church's members regularly attend Sunday services.[234] The reason for the large number of inactive members is partly that, until 1996, children automatically became members at birth if at least one of the parents was a member. <<​

Here's why New Zealand is a significant omission too. NZ was once easily counted in the "Christian" category, as were many "western/Euro" nations, but as the time fades when state religions forced citizens into a category, their citizenry have taken the liberty to move away from them, ranging from some 62% Christianity in Belgium on last report (such census questions no longer exist there) to under 60% in Germany and the UK, to barely over 50% in France to under 44% in Holland, to some 30% in Estonia, to about 13% in the Czech Republic where interestingly over a third report "no religion".

So technically (to use the OP's term) he's got to add not only Benin, Togo, Maruitius, Madagascar and New Zealand to his list, whatever its mysterious purpose might be, but also from Europe alone, the Netherlands, Estonia and the Czech Republic, with more knocking at the door to join.

Its not based on church membership. Its based on any sort of belief in the supranatural and what faith most influenced that belief. Every country in the world has over 50% belief in some form of the supranatural.

THIS IS NOT A LEVEL RELIGIOSITY LIST!

Out of the 197 countries that make up the world, only the above 17 are NOT majority Christian or majority Muslim. The other 180 countries are divided between 130 majority Christian countries and 50 majority Muslim countries.


So what? Other than Israel which is obviously Jewish, all the others you list simply represent the remaining countries sharing the eastern faiths, like Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.

Right, because most countries in the world fall into either the Christian or Muslim side of things, or if you want to get really nit picky, the Abrahamic religious side of things, when it comes to supranatural beliefs. No wonder everyone uses the Gregorian calendar and believes that its the year 2019.
