Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate consisting of six condensed maps which show the principle religious denominations of the people living in Canada. The 1951 Census of Canada enumerated the religious denomination of which each person was either a member or to which he or she adhered or favoured. This plate shows the distribution of population on this basis of the six religious groups which were most numerous in 1951. These six groups are as follows: Roman Catholic, The United Church of Canada, The Anglican Church of Canada, Presbyterians, Baptists and Lutherans. Each map is accompanied by a pie chart showing the percentage distribution of each denomination by province and territory.

As of 2010, Christianity was the religion with the most followers worldwide, followed by Islam (Muslims) and Hinduism. In the forty years between 2010 and 2050, it is projected that the landscape of world religions will undergo some noticeable changes, with the number of Muslims almost catching up to Christians. The changes in population sizes of each religious group is largely dependent on demographic development, for example, the rise in the world's Christian population will largely be driven by population growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, while Muslim populations will rise across various regions of Africa and South Asia. As India's population is set to grow while China's goes into decline, this will be reflected in the fact that Hindus will outnumber the unaffiliated by 2050. In fact, India may be home to both the largest Hindu and Muslim populations in the world by the middle of this century.

The objective of CSEAS metadatabase is to provide an Internet catalogue that documents the spatial data holdings and other media collections related to Southeast Asian Studies.;The collection is stored on a web database using Dublin Core standard and Unicode characters (UTF-8). This allowed us to easily employ the Internet resources for discovery and electronic document interchange in multiple languages.;At the beginning of 2002, we already have 429 satellite images, 715 maps, 2591 photos and GPS photos, 6810 anthropology files, and some SEAS articles. Continually the collection increases as time goes on.

In 2023, over ** percent of Indonesians declared themselves to be Muslim, followed by *** percent who were Christians. Indonesia has the largest Islamic population in the world and for this reason is often recognized as a Muslim nation. However, Indonesia is not a Muslim nation according to its constitution. The archipelago is a multifaith country and officially recognizes six religions – Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. Not all provinces in Indonesia are Muslim majority The spread of Islam in Indonesia began on the west side of the archipelago, where the main maritime trade routes were located. Until today, most of the Indonesian Muslim population are residing in Western and Central Indonesia, while the majority religion of several provinces in Eastern Indonesia, such as East Nusa Tenggara and Bali, is Christian and Hindu, respectively. Discrimination towards other beliefs in Indonesia The Indonesian constitution provides for freedom of religion. However, the Government Restrictions Index Score on religion in Indonesia is relatively high. Indonesians who practice unrecognized religions, including Indonesia’s indigenous or traditional belief systems, such as animism, dynamism, and totemism, face legal restrictions and discrimination. Indonesian law requires its citizens to put one of the recognized religions on their national identity cards, with some exceptions for indigenous religions. Although legally citizens may leave the section blank, atheism or agnosticism is considered uncommon in Indonesia.
