Simply fascinating. I love this kind of stuff. Demographics nerd#.

Same here. It’s a good way to kill a few hours. ;)

I can’t enlarge the religions map, but what is that place in the middle of Europe that has a majority of Juice? That’s just weird.

Hmm, good question. Weird. I found the map over at Pew and it looks the same, but underneath is says:

Israel is the only country with a Jewish majority. There are no countries where members of other religions (such as Baha’is, Jains, Shintoists, Sikhs, Taoists, followers of Tenrikyo, Wiccans and Zoroastrians) make up a majority of the population. There are also no countries where people who identify with folk or traditional religions clearly form a majority.2
