The World's Religions

[Greyblades]

1. African Christians seem to be mostly Protestant, I thought Catholicism was dominant across the entire southern half.

A lot appears to bear the marks of history; if you look closely at places like the nambia/angola border and the mosabique coast you'll see a general impression of where the protestant british and dutch colonies bordered the catholic portugese, spanish and french, evidently the results of each nation's missionary work still survives.

It's fascinating seeing how the different areas reflect history; see the big amount of muslims in the east african coast, a lot of it is likely remenant of the indian ocean trade routes, before the europeans entered the stage it was dominated by muslim traders IIRC. The catholic patch around louisiana, remenant of it being a major port in the north american french colonies, the carribbean islands share the religion of thier former colonisers. The protestant patches in burma is odd but probably a remnent of the Raj.

The green blob must be stopped.
