Which city has the greatest religious diversity? [closed] - Unrecognizable multiracial dissenters with placards on city roadway

I really like to learn more about religions, and even though I'm learning some information from the internet, I would like to learn from real experience.

So basically I'm searching for a country that is composed of people of different religions; the more religions, the better.With different sects of each religion. Also, the country should have a small area (i.e I can go to several groups/sects in little time.)

Is there any way to determine the most religiously diverse city or country?



Best Answer

While you've already received some nice suggestions I'm quite surprised no one mentioned Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The old city is divided into four quarters—known since the early 19th century as the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarters and religion is a very big deal there and one of the most impressive city I've ever visited. The old city being smaller than the cities mentioned by others and packed with so many different religion I feel it's a better candidate than most of those cosmopolitan cities.

With regard to the most religiously diverse country and your goal of seeing the most religions in a short time, probably Singapore is your best bet. It likely has the most distinct and heavily-practiced religions per km², amongst all the countries of the world (though probably not amongst all the cities of the world).

No India on the list. That's bull. I live in New Delhi , the capital of India and believe you me every part of it is diverse. India as a country is diverse. You will find Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Jains. Tibet's government in exile, the administrative operations are from India. The dalai lama temple is in India. There are loads of other examples I can give. In short, the most religiously diverse country in the world is INDIA.

You will find A Church, A Temple , A Mosque, A Gurdwara in every city of the country.

Not to forget, INDIA is the birthplace of 4 major religions : Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Apart from this, we have roughly 20% of population to be Muslims. Also, roughly 5% of total population are Christians and let me stress that the North Eastern States of India namely Mizoram and Manipur have more than 90% of population to be christians.
