Sorry I haven't been able to post today. Life happened (Which includes having to visit my grandmother, complete collage work I haven't completed for spring break yet, and pick up my sister in the next state over). However, I have had time to throw to together a rough prototype of the requested Religious map, after some research.

With the following labels...

Blue: Protestantism
Yellow: Catholicism
Purple: Greek Orthodox
Lavender: Russian Orthodox (Different then Greek Orthodox since we have now have two competing Patriarchs)
Orange: Hinduism
Red: Buddhism
Grey: Chinese Philosophies/Faiths (Confucianism, Taoism, Folk, ect)
Brown: Native American Faiths
Maroon: Native African Faiths
Dark Brown: Native Faiths Other
Dark Green: Sunni Islam
Light Green: Shia Islam

Nice

A few notes on this particular map...

1) The Brown blotchs in America are areas with large Native American reservations. The Green blotch in Utah is from a group of southern Iberian settlers who came to the Americas after their Imam had a dream and located silver plates written in an ancient language which (he claimed) spelled out a paradise in the new world. Moving much farther north then most settlers, they founded a city on the shores of a massive salt lake, called Nuevo Tenochtitlan, and were known to later passers as Moor-men

2) Since the Philippines were never colonized, I figure Catholicism never really stuck with them

3) The Romans have some cities as Greek Orthodox, namely their Patriarchates, since I would think they would gravitate to them

4) No Catholics colonizing Africa, no African Catholics

5) Latvia and Estonia are a mess to try to figure out for this time period: Just assume they're equal mix Orthodox and Protestant

6) Gibraltar too I didn't know what to put down. We'll just assume its half-Muslim half Christian for now (The city is Christian, its immediate countryside Muslim)

Wait, what about Sri Lanka?

The map I found said it was Muslim. However, upon a second look, it appears to be more Hindu. Put that on the list of corrections that need to be made.

Ptolemais: Considering the island mostly follows a blend of Shinto and Buddism, I thought it would be alright to label it Buddist. However, if you wish, that can be changed in the next edition.

It's 12:06 in my time zone, which includes areas of Nunavut, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the Great Plains States, Texas, the Western edges of Dixie and the Midwest, most of Mexico, and Central America.

If it's going to be an official map, i'd prefer Shinto.

It's about 80% Buddhist actually.

Most of the Byzantine Empire should be Greek Orthodox, remember Alt His RP. And all of Yugoslav territories should be Greek Orthodox. And about half of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth should be Orthodox. And finally, the Russian and Greek Orthodox are not two competing churches.

Please don't. Just remain a secular state.

[Dangelia]

Shouldn't Ethiopia be Monophysite Christian?

It should be Miaphysite Christianity, as should Egypt. Half of Roman Middle East, and all of Armenia.

There aren't enough bloody Greeks to pull off what you're trying to: Remember the Ottomans? They diden't manage to make much of the Balkans Muslim at all just because they were there. Similarly, the Romans, creeking with age and vastly out-populated locally by Muslims, should have no practicaly reason to have converted to Greek Orthodox: unlike France, who converted from the top during a time of crisis and great Muslim heroism against a gang-attack by her Catholic neighbors. And with the Ottomans, at least their subjects diden't have an Orthodox power providing oversight and protection to them until the 1700's: the local Muslims have had Persia to call on to protect their intrests since day 1.

Poland is full of Catholics: they have been since the 900's, and Poland has said such, and historically this was the case. Only small parts of the Ukraine are Catholic, which I will correct if it is a big issue, but they would be Russian Orthodox, most likely.

The Russians have their own patriarch who (I'd assume) claims to be the supreme Orthodox authority as opposed to the the one in Constantiople. Russia can say otherwise, in which case I will correct the map, but they're seperate faiths in the same way Sunni and Shai Islam are... and those are viable enough to make a division out of.

Though, I'll change Ethiopia and small parts of Egypt.

Yeah, but they have been under Byzantine (Orthodox) Occupation for a long time know. I would say this region would be about 50% Eastern Orthodox, 30% Miaphyisite, and 20% Muslim.

Poland is full of Catholics: they have been since the 900's, and Poland has said such, and historically this was the case. Only small parts of the Ukraine are Catholic, which I will correct if it is a big issue, but they would be Russian Orthodox, most likely.

yeah! but Belarus is Russian Orthodox.

[/quote] They're not separate faiths. I myself am Orthodox. Russian and Greek Orthodox exist only for administrative reasons in the church.

So? The Serbs, the Bulgarians, the Greeks, the Armenians ect. were under Ottoman occupation for a long time. Please tell me when they became majority Muslim. And the Ottomans were at the very least somewhat dynamic and fresh while the Roman empire was creaking, and had the majority of their empire filled with Muslims, and diden't have an Orthodox powerhouse until Russia came onto its own to protect the local faiths, while the Muslims have had Persia since the Romans came back.

Belarus, I will correct that in the next map. Again, this previous one was just a rough draft, and will need fine-tunning.

And the only real major disagreement between the Sunnis and Shias is who is supposed to be Caliph. Dosen't stop them from being considered seperate sects. So I'm going to consider the Russian Orthodox seperate in this timeline unless the Russian player agrees they recognize the Contantinople Patriarch as the supreme Orthdox authority, rather then the on in St. Petersburg or Moscow.

Listen, I'm Orthodox. We don't have a supreme Orthodox authority. We have a one among equals, and he's the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.


And that entire region, right know is under Byzantine occupation, just like it was before. Where the hell do the Ottomans come in play here.
