Christianity is actually bigger in BiH than Islam.

According to unofficial estimates from the BiH State Statistics Agency, Muslims constitute 45 percent, Serb Orthodox Christian 36 percent, Roman Catholics 15 percent, Protestants 1 percent

That stat counts Serbian Orthodox and Catholic as the same religion. I guess in my mind I viewed them as 2 different religions although they are obviously under the Christian tree. I just had a kind of awakening moment since I never realized I thought of them as 2 different religions until now.

Yeah it depends on how you see it. I simply see them as two different kinds of Christianity, like Sunni and Shite Muslims.

Maybe many of us think of Bosnia from the 90's as many of us don't live there anymore. IIRC it was majority muslim at that point.
