- icegreentea 11y agoWell, because the data source for the battles is clearly western-centric, it'll just show up with correlations with Christianity.
- Yetanfou 11y agoCompared to some other studies of religion-inspired battles, especially those related to the islamic conquest of the middle east, northern Africa and parts of Europe the map seems to be rather sparse. An example of such a study is the one done by one Bill Warner which tells of '548 battles that Islam fought... [which] doesn’t include battles [in] Africa, India, Afghanistan and other locations' [1]. Given that the map includes football brawls as 'battles' and that this is only one example of a specific group of battles, the only possible conclusion can be that it needs to be fed with more data.
