You want proof that English speakers on social media are mostly from Christian dominant countries?

Here is a map of dominant religions.

Note carefully which areas of the world are primarily Christian. Now consider a map from Wikipedia on what language articles written on a country are written in.

Its immediately obvious that there is a pretty big but not 100% overlap. It is pretty clear in context that the majority of the English speaking web (which isn't the entire web by any means) is going to be composed of people living in Christian dominant areas.

Again, this has nothing at all to do with my point. I’m not going to fall for your goalpost moving rhetoric. Stay within the topic of discussion, or walk away.

You literally side tracked the entire discussion to discuss the semantics of my response and demand proof that English speaking forums are dominated by Americans. My broader point was the reason for the shit talking is the people you are conversing with are those who have to deal with Christians. If you re-read it my point is pretty clear but I think we are done in any case.
