What exactly is the shaded area supposed to depict, the presence of Christianity or it’s being dominant in the region? Because Christian missionaries spread out way faster than the map depicts, but Christianity took much longer to become the dominant religion in those places. And in many shaded areas it was never dominant, such as China in which it existed alongside a wide variety of religions, many more popular. The Middle East also had a wide variety of religions. If the mere presence of a native population of believers is necessary, then India and much of the Sahel should also be colored in pre colonization.

Goofy communism aside. Watching Ethiopian Christian’s get cut off from everyone and still survive to this day explains why their flavor of Christianity is so unique.

Mixing together political empires, religions, and economic systems in one territorial map animation is pretty wild.

Very misleading for two reasons.
This map doesn’t distinguish between a Christian majority region and the existence of Christian in an area,. This causes Pagan and Buddhist majority areas to be perceived as Christian.
This map also considers heretical doctrines as a part of Christianity. Arianism of the Germanic people, and Nestorianism in the East are never accepted as Christianity.

Horrible video full of nonsense. You can’t show the spread of Christianity as a distinct ‘area’ that slowly expands outward because Christianity quickly established a presence of some degree in every region of the Roman empire. Pliny says in 112 a.D. that Christianity had spread to every urban social class in Northern Anatolia, both to citizens and non-citizens, yet it was persecuted. So how do you represent that in the map? In addition, some of the information is just plain wrong. Tang China was not a Christian country.

Questionable contrasts. E.g. Mongols and Communism are not religions.
