I thought one of those tiny Pacific island countries was majority Hindu. Maybe they are but still have more than 10% Christians... pretty easy, though. Just guess Hindu, Buddhist, Daoist countries, plus the one Jewish country and the one where they have a state religion and a dead man is head of state.

Can't speak for Kal, but I was definitely thinking of Mauritius (Indian Ocean not Pacific, I suppose, but *shrug*).

Turns out, though, that while Mauritius is majority Hindu, it's still 32% Christian.

Fiji on the other hand, definitely not. It has a sizable Hindu population, yes, but is still 2/3 Christian.

Fiji has a lot of Hindus, due to a lot of Indians being brought in in the 1800s. At one point over 40% of the population was Indian and Hindu, but I think is around 33% today

It's not that obvious to me. After all, it's a holy land also for Christians, and they've been living there for many centuries, as well as in all its neighboring countries, being more than 10% of the population.

However, due to China's great population, even though there are just about 4% of the people in China are considered as Christians, the country still have a lot of Christians that can be counted as top 10 in the world just by number.

I must say, the idea of a country without many Christians or Muslims sure is appealing. That said, I might pass on North Korea. Japan would be my pick of these, though it must be said its method for preventing Christianity from gaining a foothold wasn't exactly ethical.

But then again, Christianity's way of gaining a foothold in many countries wasn't very ethical either. Though from what I understand in Japan the Christian missionaries were rather peaceful and the Japanese government of the time was definitely wrong in the way they suppressed them.

The Christian missionaries in Japan, who were mainly Portuguese, often kidnapped Japanese children from the port of Nagasaki. This was the major event that led Hideyoshi Toyotomi to issue the "Bateren Edict", displacing the missionaries from the country.

I read a book by a European scientist (Engelbert Kaempfer) who travelled to Japan around 1690. Christianity was tolerated at the time and proselytising wasn't illegal, but all Westerners who entered the country had to put all their weapons, western money and Christian items (crosses, bibles...) in a box and only got them back when they left. Interesting.

I wouldn't exactly say that... SE Asia only gives you 5 of the 14 answers. Plus you can narrow it down further than SE Asia to Indochina, since all the SE Asian countries on here are in Indochina, and the only Indochina country not on here is Malaysia. Then NE Asia gives you another 4. South Asia also provides 4. Then just Israel.

I think my homeland, the Czech Republic, must be Very close to joining this group. According to the last census (2021), the Catholic church, by far the largest denomination there, represents around 9 per cent of the overall population, with all the other Christian churches having two to three cent among themselves at the very best. All the rest (not counting for the handful of Jews, Muslims and Buddhists - the last named mostly of Vietnamese heritage), declared to have no religion, did not reply or (not a very popular option) claimed to be non-denomintional "believers". After the next census, we will probably make it to this quiz.

I was actually somewhat shocked North Korea's percentage was so high, but after reading a bit about it, the 1'ish% is a bit more (if only slightly) believable.

It has history going back to Catholic missionaries on the peninsula. There are a few churches of different denominations that feel more like North Korea's skewed idea of a diplomatic gesture (especially to Russia).

Some Christian oriented NGOs also exist, but are on strict mandate not to evangelize. There are always zealots who would ignore such mandates, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if there are a few Christian cells putting their life on the line.

Czechia and the Netherlands would come first (as it stands now, things can change at different speeds of course)

And I don't know how it is in other countries, but I think in the Netherlands most of those included in the stats just belong to those groups (protestants/catholics) by default, they say they are because their parents were and they grew up in that community, but not necessarily (and I believe often not) really believing themselves. Basically a label no different than having been born in a certain provence. "Handed out" at birth and kept it (as a part of their indentity)

We have our own biblebelt where religion is still very strong (conservative orthodox reformed protestants) and I think the 2 most southern provinces (mainly catholic) are more actually religious (and not just by name).
