A couple of things I want to clarify, as I know from the preview people are concerned:<br>1) Celtic Christianity was not a wholly separate denomination of Christianity; Celtic Christians did at least nominally recognise Rome and its particular liturgical conventions; however, it did have certain practices that were unique, and maintained a decentralised, monastic church structure, in contrast to the dioceses seen elsewhere in western Europe<br>2) Both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches claim to be the legitimate successor of the Imperial Roman Church. The fact that I used the same yellow colour for Roman Catholicism and the Imperial Church was only to keep the number of colours down, and doesn't indicate any sort of support of the Catholic claim over the Orthodox claim

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, you start noticing grey spots in western countries.

Reminds me a lot of the MapsOfWar graphics from back in the 2000s. Very nice.

I think Christianity should be more visible in South Korea, as it's currently the largest religion there, with Christians making up about 30% of the population. On the other hand, the Nordic countries and New England are highly secularized. In addition, large groups of Christians (mainly economic migrants from Asia) also currently live in the Gulf countries.

Japan had Christian Daimyos and an estimated 300,000 Christians around the year 1600 before they were fully repressed in 1630 but they're not represented here.
