Largest Religion by Country with Exceptions
Name the religion with the most followers in every country besides Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Irreligion, Islam, and Judaism, or any of their denominations.
Just to help, here is a nonconclusive list of major denominations that I counted under one of the religions mentioned above: Buddhism- Esoteric, Mahayana, Theravada, Zen; Christianity- Catholocism, Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy, Mormonism, Protestantism; Hinduism- Shaivism, Shaktism, Smartism, Vaishnavism; Islam- Shi'a, Sunni, Usuli, Wahhabi; and Judaism- Conservative, Orthodox, Reform.
Some countries have so few people who do not belong to the above religious groups that reliable sources don't exist for exact numbers. These countries are greyed out. Additionally, there are some cases where folk religion is not included because census data just clumps it all together, and I don't think it's fair to have "Angolan Folk Religions" as an answer for this quiz. If I can only find vague references to "folk religion" or "indigenous beliefs," then I use my best knowledge and research to infer what I can. In these cases, I put the religions under a generic non nation-specific term. There is one major exception.

One thing that's a bit weird though is Confucianism. Based on what I know about it, it's more a philosophy than a religion. Is there a reason you decided to include it as a religion on this quiz?
It's only curious that Brazil's largest is Spiritism (kinda surprising to learn it is only that big here!) and not an afro-brazilian religion (Candomblé or Umbanda). I really believe there are more people following those last two religions -- but we know most of them call themselves Christians (there's a lot of syncretism) to avoid racism. Hope to see things changing and people being free to freely express their beliefs!
I very nearly had to make the decision on whether or not to put "jedi" on this quiz thanks to a movement in Australia some time ago.
