Religion
Asian religion is shaped by four major influences:
The Chinese influence is in eastern Asia and it is primarily the source of Confucianism. The Indian influence is primarily through Hinduism 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.
