What makes Mormons any different from the other protestant denominations? Additionally, much of Russia & the former USSR is religious, there simply isn’t a dominate church yet. Eastern Orthodox is popular, as are newer Pentecostal denominations such as the Assemblies of God.

For example, Georgians are lumped with East Orthodox, but I'm pretty sure the majority would fit better with the light pink 'eastern christian churches'. The wahabitis and other peninsular extremists are lumped in with the sunnis, which just seems lazy on the map maker's part. I've read that Scandinavia and Japan have largely become agnostic over the years, but maybe I'm wrong and I'm too damn lazy to look it up. There are some fucked things about that map.

And the corollary is that the only two most widespread religions (Christianity and Islam) were spread by violence, genocide and forced conversions. Without small pox, the world would have been a lot different. I was thinking the same thing as Lord_Gorlock, that its interesting how is less that 100 years religion was stopped out by communism.
