[edit] Notes

This map shows the religion practiced by the majority of religious persons in the states of the world. If the ratio of the largest religious group to the next largest religious group is less than 60:40, then the color of the nation-state is a blend of the colors of the two largest groups. Therefore:

States consisting of multiple nations or countries receive a single color determined by the aggregate of their inhabitants. Thus, Tibet, for example, receive the same color as the People's Republic of China, even though that color does not accurately describe the Vajrayana Buddhist religious affiliation of the inhabitants of that nation.
Persons without a religion are not counted in determining the majority religion. Because of this, the Netherlands is colored steel-blue (mixed Protestant and Catholic), even though there are more non-religious people than there are Catholics, who constitute the largest religious group[1].
Regions within a state whose predominant religion is different from the plurality religion of the nation-state are not separately indicated. Thus, southern Sudan receives the same color as the rest of the state of which it is a part, even though that color does not accurately describe the religious affiliation of the inhabitants of those regions.
