Damn, almost every country where there are no Christians is inhabited by Muslims. To avoid having to deal with these two religions, which I particularly like, I’ll have to go and live in Thailand.

I was a bit surprised by Turkey. After all, there has always been a remnant of the historical Christian population. There is even still an orthodox patriarchate in Istanbul (nominally superior to the others). But I had no idea their number had dwindled so much.
Conversely, Oman for example apparently has Christian expats working there (mainly from India), and also in Libya there is a Christian population just big enough to reach the 1% threshold.

Iran is over 1% though.

In the red countries they’re just very quiet about their actual beliefs.

How did you obtain those figures? In Tunisia, religion is not officially recorded or disclosed, so there is no reliable way to know the exact numbers. These data are not collected by the government or any official organization.

Christianity has been in Thailand since 16th century with relatively mild suppression yet it never really took hold. An interesting case to be sure.

Iraq needs to be in red. It’s less than 1% now

Parts of Vietnam are surprisingly quite Christian. Places like Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh, Nghe An are full of Catholic Churches. Contrary to popular belief these communities actually predate French colonization too.

No way. I’m sure those are diverse countries. We are told the immigrants from these areas respect diversity and would integrate in the UK easily.
This map is therefore fake news because I’m sure my government doesn’t try to tell us a fake story.

Where does the percentage of Christians in Saudi Arabia come from? There aren’t even any churches there.

You know whats funny? The top colleges in Bangladesh are Christian Missionary colleges (Notre dame for boys, Holy cross for girls, and Saint joseph’s)

How old is this? It’s been more than 1% for nearly 2 decades in Nepal. Unless you’re only counting certain sects of Christianity
