On the above mapy you may see the various religious systems. In terms of geographic expanse, the most widespread is Christianity, featuring four major branches: Catholicism in the west, Orthodoxy in the middle and north, Miaphysitism in the south and Nestorianism in the east. The second most widespread faith in Buddhism, with Mahayana in India, Tarim Basin and Manchuria, Theravada in Sri Lanka and Burma and Vajrayana in Tibet.
The Iranian religions continue to be represented by Manichaeism, split into its Denawar (Central Asian) and Mazdakik (Indian Ocean) sects; Toxoxian Manichaeism appears to have merged into Buddhism in the Tarim Basin.
