World Religion Map

The World Religion Map represents on a global scale the distribution of the world’s major religions. Depicting all the religions of the world on a single world map is no mean task, as difficulties arise while representing areas where a multitude of religions exist with no single religion predominating; or areas which are inhabited by adherents of different sects of one parent religion, and such other problems. Therefore the world religion map attempts to represent the main religions practiced in a particular geographical area or region.

The yellow color in the World Religion Map depicts the countries in which Christianity is practiced like for instance, in the whole of America, Russia and Australia and in other regions as well. In the world map by religion below, the green color represents countries which are followers of Islam and these are mainly the Saudi Arabian countries and some others of south-east Asia. Taoism, another major religion is denoted by light brown color and most areas of China are followers of this religion. In the religion map of the world, Buddhism is depicted by mauve color and is mainly practiced in Sri Lanka, parts of China and others. India, which is a multi-cultural and sovereign republic, has been depicted with colored stripes. The other religions of the world are shown in light crème color. Sikhism, Judaism and Hinduism are shown in deep blue, red and orange colors respectively.

In the world map of religion given below, all these varied colors have been used carefully so that it becomes easier for users to differentiate between the various countries and religions as well. The World Religion Map is a very comprehensive and reliable source of information about world religion facts. The religion map of the world given below can also serve as world religion population map.
