Text and/or other creative content from this version of Growth of religion was copied or moved into Ex-Muslims with this edit on 16 July 2023. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

As an outside observer, I've been struck by the tone of this page

Hello,

I found it surprising the level of seeming vitriol against Islam contained throughout this page.

I understand that people editing these pages are most likely of a religious nature and with their own historical narratives, but this page feels fairly useless, when read as a whole, as it's hard to see anything other than grievances and selective narratives.

E.g. there seems to be ridiculous views that "Muslim women are uneducated and reproduce more" which is a wholly generalized statement and an explanation not offered anywhere for other growth rates. Where Islam is seemingly written as causing atrocities against Hindus, there's nothing equivalent about e.g. Christian genocides against Muslims (such as in Bosnia), or Hindus against Muslims (Gujarat riots), or Christians against Jews (Holocaust) etc. It's only Muslims which seem to appear in the other religions' sections and referenced to fairly right wing sources.

I think this page could do with rationalization and standardisation as it feels prejudiced throughout. 92.40.199.84 (talk) 19:51, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to make necessary changes with proper referencing from reliable sources. Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit in good faith, and tens of millions already have! Matteoben (talk) 16:56, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Curious if the world maps can be normalised and/or the tabulated data provided?

Christian map - percentage of each country population

Hinduism map - percentage of each country population

Islam map - population within each country by millions

Judaism map - percentage of each country population

Unaffiliated map - percentage of each country population

Makes it hard to draw comparisons when they're not all on a common scale. 203.214.79.189 (talk) 23:06, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
