Why is Tenrikyo a “major religion”? I’m sure this is the first time alot of people have even heard about it.

Zoroastrianism probably did not originate in Iran. It likely within the modern borders of Afghanistan around Balkh.

I know this may upset some people, but it is debatable where Christianity started, because it is debatable when Christianity became Christianity. The first generation never stopped considering themselves Jews. By the time they did come to think of themselves as not being Jews, they had spread throughout the Roman Empire. So I’m not saying Christianity didn’t start in Israel, I’m just saying it’s a little hard to say where it started and when.

This map has a weird bias. It ignores most of the world and has an ambiguous definition of “major”.

Gotta say, not a fan of historic maps that rely on modern borders. Would make more sense if they used the approximate location of origin regardless of country.

Is confucianism a religion? I’m pretty sure it’s just a set of ideas and philosophy rather than a religion.

When much of the world is so very racist, its confusing to see this
It annoys me that most of the popular ones are boring. If you are going to follow a religion, at least have the guy throwing cool lightning bolts or something.

If both Israel and Palestine are listed for Christianity then both Nepal and India should be listed for Buddhism.

Abraham was from Ur and became the first Jew before coming to Canaan. And Jesus the founder of Christianity was born in the Herodian kingdom of Judea.
Why did all major religions originate from asia
Wasn’t Christianity founded in Judea?
