"Upfront October 27th 2014"

Religion, though considered ridiculous by some, still has a definite effect on this worlds affairs and rightly so, 88.5% of people in this world are religious. What ethnicity people are can also have a huge affect on what religion they are. So why did the chart displaying the multiple different important statistics for each country, such as literacy rate, life expectancy, money made per capita, and languages spoken, in this most recent upfront magazine not include religion?

I think that the fact that the article didn't display the religion is a reflection of the worlds trend to disregard religion as something that isn't important politically. However, it is. Take for example the situation in the middle east. The whole area is being ravaged by a militant group that is motivated by religion. I'm not saying that religion is bad by any means at all. In fact, I think it's beneficial for promoting morality. However this is another reason why religion is so controversial, some people may feel as strongly as I do, but also have the means to protest for their beliefs. Some in more violent ways than others. Some people are extremists and give a bad name to all other religious people. Why I'm trying to say is, religion can also be very secular. So secular that the dominant religion should be posted on the charts.

Now you may argue that Upfront did post a pie chart listing all the religions and the different percentages that they take up. However  they still didn't list all the highest concentration of people of each religion in each country. I like to know information. It always interests me to read what denomination most people in each country are. It's doesn't give enough information to write that, "32.9% of people globally are christians. Again, religion isn't given much consideration in these articles, something that I think is unjust.
