You should ask Heresson or Obi Gyn that !
No, I just don't like religious fanatics of any stripe. Calvin collaborated with the Inquisition to get an anti-Trinitarian killed.
" ...when he studied the scriptures in the original, he found no reference to the Trinity. He wrote to Calvin, 'Instead of God, you have a Cerberus of three heads: the Trinity.' "
He lived in a world which killed and expelled Jews and Muslims. In the 20th Century we have witnessed the murder of six million Jews, and now war with many Muslims.
Like many students of faith today, Servetus envisioned a common spiritual reality greater than any creed. He wrote THE RESTITUTION OF CHRISTIANITY as a call to return to Christianity of the Gospels rather than the dogmas of the creeds. Discovered as the author of this heresy, he was arrested in Vienne, but escaped, only to be recognized in Geneva and condemned to death by flames. The sentence was carried out on the 27th of October 1553. As Servetus died, he said, jesus thou son of the eternal God, have mercy upon me.?It is recorded that Calvins associate, Farel, said, 'If he would only say, "Jesus. Thou eternal Son of God",we could cut him free.'
The example and writings of Servetus influenced the founding of the Unitarian Churches in Poland and Transylvania. In his person Servetus linked religion and science, setting a pattern which lived on Unitarian tradition through Joseph Priestley, Linus Pauling, and today in persons such as Tim Berners-Lee. "

I grant you that. It has only been recent times that the Swiss Presbyterians have been outnumbered by Catholics.
But as for the Hussites, they have never approached the numbers needed anywhere to be a majority of the Christians anywhere.

I think there are some minor mistakes. I have noticed that south Albania is marked as muslim whereas it is orthodox (Greek minority). Also north Fyrom is not marked as muslim but it is (Albanian segment).
Maybe I'm wrong, but in south Bulgaria you have a muslim minority which is close to 1 million? (from the ottomans?)

Greece doesn't claim that. The Greek minority that lives in the south Albania though is orthodox. That's what I was saying.

Actually, third largest navy in the world at the end of the war. Only the US and UK were larger. Then we scrapped most of it.
Shouldn't be too hard to believe. We were the only really industrialized nation besides the US to not sustain heavy damage at home during the war.
