    Yea, there needs to be an “other” category in the very least. Otherwise I think the data isn’t super meaningful.

    I don’t think every study can/should enumerate every possibility. So when they don’t have an “other” category it forces findings into the wrong boxes and becomes misleading.

      You only need an “other” category (or anything else) for the map if that “other” is the largest group. Because that’s what this is showing: the largest group.

      If you look at the data that was used, they have Muslim. Hindu. Other. Etc.

      None of it made it to the map because in no region is this the largest response.
