Tal, I think you're nitpicking on this one. If we use your logic, we're also missing a few religions. I'm sure Sunworshippers, Wiccans, et al. would like to have their religions included. The fact that America has other religions than Christianity is beside the point -- the majority of people living here are Christian. While Europe has a large Muslim population, the majority are still Christian. Even though China probably has more agnostics and atheists (either by choice or force of the government) than Buddhists, Buddhism is still the prevalent religion there. I read this map as showing the prevalent religion of an area, not that it is the only religion in that area. Few (even Israel) countries are all one religion.
