On one of my featured quizzes, the main conversation in the comments is that Cyprus is European, not Asian. And in my quiz I said it was Asian, and I just typed Cyprus as an answer and went "Man, am I a Hypocrite?"

Glad you brought that up WolfCam as the last couple of quizzes I've done have not mentioned Cyprus and I sort of miss not hearing peoples opinion on that. I get the same problem with Burma.

If you want to hear the whole argument try my Asian Island Nations quiz. The comments section (which you have contributed to) is particularly interesting.

On the Europe/Asia matter...I live in Germany, and in 2016, i saw that the Formula 1 "European Grand Prix" was being held in Azerbaijan. I asked college educated colleagues of mine "How's that possible?" The best answer i could get was that Azerbaijan "identifies as European". You can read articles where politically it wants to be Europe and it seems to be enough for it to be politically Europe to end up being geographically Europe. It's so much easier with all the other continents.

In the north it lies partly in Europe, though not Baku.

There aren't a ton of Catholics in Germany, either. But both the UK and Germany are listed due to their large populations. By percentage, the number of Catholics is fairly small.

It's fairly difficult to find out how many people are catholic and actually believe.

I am french, and I am pretty sure those numbers are incorrect. There are not 50 millions of catholics out of 67 milions people in france. It would mean 75% of the population is catholic (which even the wikipedia page linked in the description of the quizz states a number around 50%). It is fairly rare in France to know a catholic person, I highly doubt it being above 20%.

It really depends on how the question is phrased in a survey or other criteria (if you're baptized, you're considered a Catholic by the church, no matter how atheist you are): "Estimates of the proportion of Catholics range between 41% and 88% of France's population, with the higher figure including lapsed Catholics and "Catholic atheists"."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_France

It looks like about half of the kids are still baptized, though way less make it to confirmation.

Ukraine, as HendogJP said, is mainly Orthodox. Lithuania narrowly misses first column (number of Catholics should be around 75%) and is too small (2.8 million in total) to make it to the second one.

They both may be mainly Protestant but on this quiz it is by population, so less then a majority of both populations are catholic, but because of the massive population of both, it is still on here.

I think the data just uses citizens, not foreign residents, and unfortunately being Catholic (and working for the Catholic Church) is a literal requirement for citizenship of Vatican City.
