Image talk:Europe religion map en.png
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This map is beautiful! This being Wikipedia, though, I do have a few nits to pick:
1. It looks like the entire Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been entirely noted as being a Sunni area. It would be more accurate to mark the areas dominated by Croats as Catholic.
2. Armenia is lumped in with the other Orthodox countries; however, it's an Oriental Orthodox state and thus is from a separate religious tradition. A Serb could take communion in a Romanian Orthodox church, and a Romanian in a Russian Orthodox church, and so on; but the Armenian church does not share communion with the others. Also, the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan is also Armenian Orthodox.

[edit] Subtle definitional differences
What exactly does this map seek to represent? The predominant religions in contemporary Europe, or historically-predominant religions? In the Czech Republic and Estonia, Christianity is a minority religion, considering that the majority of the population are atheists or non-religious. If the map represents current religious demographics, then these regions should be coloured in as "non-religious" or athiest. If, one the other hand, this maps show traditional religious believes, or religious heritage, then it's OK as it is, but it should be captioned different on all of the articles which use it. It is currently captioned as "Predominant religions in Europe", which makes its content incorrect.

The pastel shades are difficult to distinguish on LCD displays. Some stronger shades would probably be easier on the eyes. -- Beland 07:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Source?
What is the source of the data about which religion is dominant where? -- Beland 07:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Inaccurate
In the Czech Republic most of people are atheist, look at Census data or at Demographics of the Czech Republic. - Darwinek 10:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
