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.

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.

christians are an ultra minority in Israel , most of them fled the country due to either the rise of Hesbola and Hammas who are extremist and/or the rise of violent jewish colonists and settlers in Cisjordania

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 didn't guess Mongolia because when I was there I learned that Christmas is a wildly popular holiday. I figured they must be more than 3% Christian.

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.
+3
Level 56
Nov 2, 2021
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.

Japan has pretty low religiosity in general, and anyone who does subscribe to a religion will probably be Shinto, Buddhist, or a mix. Extremely homogeneous country.

Should it? The muslim majority countries that surround Israel have a higher percentage of Christians. I would have thought Israel would be about 10% Christians.

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.
