> Purple – countries where middle Eastern religion is dominant
That does not go with the actual regions colored in purple.

This map would be much more interesting by subdivision. You can actually see borders of old empires through it.

Assuming the Middle East counts as Asia (it does), all major religions are Asian.
(The biggest non-Asian religions are Yoruba and Vodun, each of which have around 50 million adherents, mostly around Nigeria, Benin, and Togo.)

Most people don’t know but the Muslim conquest was one of the bloodiest periods in the history of the Indian subcontinent, as the people were polytheists and stubbornly protected their culture. The American historian Will Durant called it “probably the bloodiest story in history”.
Hitler, a Homo sapiens with limited knowledge and power, who ordered the torture and extermination of many other Homo sapiens for a limited period of time.
Or a God—an omnipotent, omniscient, eternal being—who shows no mercy to unbelievers merely for being unbelievers, regardless of whether they act for the welfare of other mortal beings, and who subjects far more people to eternal flames.
