Exploring Culture: Diffusion of Religion

Question 7 • PA-Geography A

Which of the following statements about the spread of Christianity is false?

Answer
A
Imperialism and colonization promoted the spread of Christianity.
B
Colonists and migrants are mostly responsible for bringing Christianity to North America.
C
Many people in Latin America were forced to convert to Christianity.
D
Christianity did not spread to as many people as Islam did; Christianity is the world's second-largest religion.

Explanation

Christianity is generally considered the world’s largest religion by number of adherents, not the second-largest. Islam is generally the second-largest. The other statements describe historical ways Christianity spread, including colonization, migration to North America, and forced conversion in parts of Latin America. Therefore, the false statement is that Christianity is the world’s second-largest religion.
