*[[Judaism|Judaic]]
*[[Judaism|Judaic]]
The Chinese influence is in eastern Asia and it is primarily the source of [[Confucianism]] and [[Taoism]]. The Indian influence is primarily through [[Hinduism]], [[Jainism]], [[Sikhism]] and [[Buddhism]], which has spread more to other countries than Hinduism has. [[Islam]] remains the dominant religion in southwest Asia, and also eastern and northern Africa. The [[Russian Orthodox Church]] has an influence in the Russian western parts of [[Siberia]]. Judaism is mainly concentrated in [[Israel]], but can also be found in [[Japan]], [[China]], and [[Religion_in_India#Judaism_in_India|India]]. Other Asian religions include, [[Bahai]], [[Cao Dai]], [[Juche]], [[Shinto]], [[Tenrikyo]] and [[Zoroastrianism]]. A majority of people worldwide follow an Asian religion.
