Badi by country

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Adherents of Badi are distributed around the world, but concentrated in the southern half of Coius, generally. While the pluralistic and syncretic characteristics of Badi can make defining its followers difficult, the Association of Badist Churches (ABC) is widely recognised as broadly representative of the religious community. Badi, originating in ancient Dezevau, has around two hundred million followers worldwide, making it one of the largest religions in the world, while Badi is the largest religion in a handful of countries.

Most practitioners of Tulyata are not affiliated with the ABC, despite dispute over whether their belief systems properly comprise a form of Badi; for the purposes of this article, ABC figures and definitions are used. This primarily affects the figures for Ajahadya.

Notes

1.^ This figure includes practitioners of the Tön faith, which is considered to be a heterodox form of Badi, heavily syncretised with folk religious practices, which originated from an earlier separate transmisission to that of the rest of Kuthina.
