What this measures
Share of the population identifying as Muslim, in % of population. Source: Pew Research Center. For this measure, no agreed better direction.
The second largest religion. The three religion shares are parts of one total. So for any pair of them, more of one means less of the others. They are built from the same numbers, so they are bound to match, and the site flags this. Hindu, Buddhist, folk and other religions are not included, so that what is taken from Pew's dataset stays a small excerpt of it. No "better" direction is set.
