Thanks for this very interesting piece. I found the map very helpful and more visual aids whether geography-based or just visual representations of how the religions split/differences might be helpful.

Thanks! I didn't pick out the graphics myself for this, but I will keep this in mind. The problem with drawing maps trying to illustrate the geography is that such maps tend to give an impression of much greater confidence than is really warranted.

Once you put things into a chart or diagram, you immediately give the impression of greater certainty because you're essentially forced to do stricted demarcations. But I will give some thought to it.
