vast majority? doubt that.
Less than 20% of the people on Earth are monotheists. Buddhists and Hindus make up around 2.5 billion people (possible even more), and those are both polytheistic religions. Most of the other various religions in Asia are polytheistic. I do not think there are any monotheistic religions native to Africa, only imported brands of Christianity. All of the tribes of people indigenous to the Americas are polythesitic, save those converted to some brand of Christianity. It is primarily in Europe and the so-called Middle East that monotheistic religions developed, and those places are not nearly as populated as Asia. I am sure my figures are off, but I am also sure that my statement about the vast majority of humans being of polytheistic religions is true. What you see around you in Canada (or here in the US) is not an accurate picture of the rest of the world. |
