I find it weird that Orthodox would clock in as top Christian on here in the survey. Is it that VGChartz has a number of people from Eastern Europe or Russia on here?


Evidently we have a very diverse group of users on these forums. As far as your point goes I don't think it's as simple as saying there are lots of people from eastern Europe on vgchartz. There are millions of Orthodox residing in the Middle East and Africa as well, mainly in Egypt, Syria, and Ethiopia.

I myself live in Australia(originally from Bosnia in central Europe).

Are you a Bosniak? Or Serbian?

 

As for the Christians of the Middle East, for other people's info:

- The Christians within my fellow Palestinians/Jordanians are mainly Greek Orthodox (fellow Palestinians by ethnicity, and fellow Jordanians by nationality).

- Syrians are also mostly Greek Orthodox, but they have Syriacs/Assyrians, Armenians who belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church, and Maronite Catholics.

- The Lebanese Christians are mainly Maronites, with some Greek Orthodox and Greek Catholic.

- Iraqi Christians mainly belong to the Eastern Rite churches

- Christianity in the gulf countries comes from foreigners mainly.

- Egyptian Christians are mainly Coptic Orthodox.

- Sudanese Christians are mainly Anglican or Roman Catholic, but with a notable number of Coptics.

- Libyan Christians are Coptics.

- Algerian Christians are both Protestant and Roman Catholic.

- Moroccans I think are Coptics as well.

Sorry for the very late reply. My background is Bosnian Serb. In Bosnia the orthodox regard themselves as Serbs, the Catholics Croats. Only the muslim population regards themselves as Bosnian or Bosniak by ethnicity. Religion is tied to our ethnic alignment basically.
