In many articles, there is a section on Religious views. There seems to be a strong bias in WP to show the Christian view always, often divided into Roman Catholic and Protestant; followed by the Judaic view and/or Islamic view. This does not reflect world distribution.

Judaism at 14.5 million is less than 1% of the world population.

Please help with correcting this bias by adding religious views as appropriate. I am ''not'' suggesting the view of any religion which is less than 1% should be removed, or not added. I am merely suggesting that the major religions of the world are poorly represented, and the information is usually presented with a bias towards American distribution. At the very least '''Islam''' and '''Hinduism''' should be presented, and preferably '''Buddhism''' also. Chinese folk religion is a group, not a single religion, and as such a single "view" is virtually impossible to find. Tribal religions is also a group.

In many articles, there is a section on Religious views. There seems to be a strong bias in WP to show the Christian view always, often divided into Roman Catholic and Protestant; followed by the Judaic view and/or Islamic view. This does not reflect world distribution.

Tribal Religions, Shamanism, Animism 232 million 4%

Judaism at 14.5 million is less than 1% of the world population.

Please help with correcting this bias by adding religious views as appropriate. I am not suggesting the view of any religion which is less than 1% should be removed, or not added.
