Religion in Ethiopia[edit]

The proportion of religion in Ethiopia is wrong specially concerned Islam.in the 2007 census the total population of Muslims indicated as 33.9% of the total population that is completely false data. The Muslim population is over 50 % of the total population. To describe it in detail in Addis Ababa the Muslim population is over 30%,In Amhara region over 30%,In bensshangul gumuz over 60%,In gambella over 30%,In Harari over 80%,In oromia over 70%,in most oromiya regions arsi, bali, hararge,jimma, iluababora,90% are muslims.inSNNRA over 30%,In Tigray over 15% are muslims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.188.115.250 (talk) 09:29, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Currently the 2007 census conducted by the Ethiopian government is the only reliable source available on population figures in Ethiopia. Though a bit dated, it should still provide the correct proportions in terms of percentages, and needs to be used until the next census figures become available. A census had been scheduled for 2019, but had to be called off, but I think in a few more years we should have more current figures. Your assumptions regarding the total population based on figures from the various regions is original research and therefore not permissible as a source in Wikipedia. Everybody wants his religion to show up as the greatest and most populous, and therefore we would get into constant edit wars if we did not follow the policy of only using reliable sources.
