Cheers, Dmitry. Dear Daniel,

Judaism shouldn’t behave like that, it should work more like little scattered moving centers after diaspora.

I am sure they don’t pretend that the map is precise, but what, I think, it shows correctly is relative size of areals for different religions.

Cheers,
Dmitry.

And this animation should follow the pattern of others in the site, that is, include extinct empirers/religions, and not just the present day religions. I really missed roman/greek religions and zoroastrism. Great eastern philosophies that had a ritualistic/religious conotation, like confucionsim and taohism were missing. Surely, this animation is not good as the others... Judaism shouldn’t behave like that, it should work more like little scattered moving centers after diaspora.

If so, asymptotically the distribution becomes stationary.

What happens next? Do they start eating each other? Do they evolve? That map makes the Earth look like a giant petri dish whith competing bacteria colonies eventually using up all the food supply.
