Religion

1.Main points:

■Christianity is an evangelical religion, meaning that its practitioners have a mandate to spread the gospel. Buddhists have no such mandate.

■Christians have been extremely successful at spreading their beliefs. Christianity is now the most widespread world religion, with practitioners in every corner of the globe, particularly in the former mission lands and colonized regions of North and South America.

■Christian missionaries spread the gospel through relocation diffusion; they purposefully moved to new regions of the world to convert native peoples.

■Until relatively recently, Buddhism was mostly limited to central and eastern Asia. Historically, Buddhism has spread through contagious diffusion, meaning that it was passed on to people because of their proximity to other practitioners.

■In recent years, Buddhism has gained a foothold with Americans and Europeans, due to their increasing exposure to Eastern cultures and to Buddhism’s peaceful and individualistic teachings.
