What if China also becomes most Muslim nation at the same time? http://www.newsweek.com/islam-chinareligion-chinachinese-muslimsuighursuyghurschina-religionramadan-602581

"Most Christian nation" = nation with highest number of christians, even if the vast majority of Chinese are not Christians?

I suppose the Vatican is the least Christian nation then

Of course this has no bearing on the news but the wording these journalists used irked me, it's just wrong

That might soon be Somalia.

Hehe yeah, well it’s already the most atheist. So the most atheist, the most Christian and the most Muslim?

Exactly, they just have such a high population in general that they tend to claim these kinds of titles.
