The geographic distribution of the world religions

Abstract

This study aimed to capture the distribution of the religious beliefs and practices around the globe, emphasizing their location and regionalization. In order to highlight the interactions between the natural and the religious practices of a social group, it is necessary to shape the geographical space according to the relational component. This is a result of the interference between the component support (the natural environment) and the active component (the religious community), making together a religious environment.
