Level 62

The 2022 Census should show some interesting results.

Level 73

Sep 28, 2021

Will it? I don't think there will be any significant change other than the percentage of Hinduism slightly decreasing and that of Islam increasing. The other religions are mostly stagnant.

I had the exact same idea of a chart but I never released it! In fact, I made it like a month ago. Anyway, I will make another chart. :)

Level 65

Sep 28, 2021

I feel like Christianity might also grow a bit, it is getting more common. It will also be interesting by how much Islam increases, it has been increasing more and more each time, and Hinduism decreasing more and more.
