Religions Across the Globe

Many folks know that a high percentage of Israelis are Jewish, a high percentage of Saudis are Muslim, and that India has many Hindus. But, people are often surprised to learn that India has more Muslims in their population than any other nation except one; or that the U.S. has almost as many Jews as Israel; or that South and Central America have a higher percent of Christians than North America or Europe. This module will compare the adherence rates among nations worldwide.

The ARDA Lesson Plans integrate content from the ARDA and other sources into teachable units. The lessons are designed for courses in a wide range of disciplines, including history, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. This assignment was created for the Association of Religion Data Archives.
