In the Americas, Christians are the largest religious group in North America and in almost every country in South America. Hinduism is the major religion in most of Guyana and a few small areas in nearby Suriname. Christians predominate throughout Europe, except for a few small areas on the Balkan peninsula, which are majority Muslim. Africa between the Sahel and the Mediterranean is mostly Muslim, except in parts of several West African countries where ethnoreligionists (tribalists) predominate. Enclaves of Christians are also found in the southern (coastal) parts of some of these countries, including Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria. South of the Sahel, most of sub-Saharan Africa is majority Christian, except in East Africa where Muslims predominate in all of Sudan and Somalia and in parts of Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique. People in southern Tanzania, central Mozambique, and most of Madagascar are mainly ethnoreligionists (tribalists). Mostly Muslims inhabit Southwest and Central Asia, except in Israel, where Jews predominate, and Armenia, which is Christian. In South Asia, Muslims are the majority in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and part of Sri Lanka (which also has Buddhist and Muslim areas). India is mainly Hindu, with an area of Sikhs in the northwest and ethnoreligionists (tribalists) in the northeast. Nepal is mainly Hindu, whereas nearby Bhutan is Buddhist. In Southeast Asia, the mainland countries of Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia are mainly Buddhist, although Laos is divided between Buddhists and ethnoreligionists (tribalists). Thailand and Myanmar both have small areas of Christians, whereas Myanmar also has a Muslim minority. Malaysia and Indonesia are predominantly Muslim, with a few Christian areas in Indonesia. Philippines is majority Christian, with some Muslims in the south. In East Asia, Mongolia is mainly ethnoreligionists (tribalists); North Korea is mainly agnostic; South Korea is mostly Christian; and Japan is mostly Buddhist. China is more complicated: western China is majority Muslim; in eastern, central, and southern China (and in Taiwan), Chinese folk religionists predominate; the rest of the country is officially agnostic. Christianity is the main religion throughout Oceania.
