Islam being largest
Islam is by a significant gap, the largest religion in Asia, this should be mentioned in the start as it is an important stat. It was always mentioned before yet someone has removed it. This is confirmed by latest PEW statistics and all other data, so it shouldn't be removed for bigoted reasons or to accommodate online hinduvta trolls. It is extremely misleading that visitors should have to go more than halfway down the page before reading about Islam and the fact that it's the largest religion in Asia. Ideally, the abrahamic religions should have been mentioned first as they are the largest group in Asia. Just because dharmic and chinese religions are older doesn't mean they should cover half the beginning of the page and completely overlook the largest group in Asia (Abrahamic religions). By that logic neopagan and aboriginal religions should be mentioned first in Europe and North America.

 * No, there is no "significant gap" between Islam and Hinduism, both have about 1.1 Bio adherents in Asia. Unbiased is to mention both or none. --Nillurcheier (talk) 13:03, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
