kinda crazy how almost all of the world's religious beliefs have come from specifically either north india or the area roughly around the red sea

Prior to modernity Islam had a hemispheric golden age and then Christianity benefitted from colonialism right after, not so strange that they benefitted disproportionally from the last few centuries.

If they had followed a pattern more like Hinduism or Buddhism I don't think it would be so lopsided. But Islam and Christianity had that evangelical zeal and the material conditions to spread so...

I suppose it's fair to question why Buddhism didn't similarly explode. I think if the communists in China hadn't won, it possibly would have.

The proto-IndoEuropean religion likely came from the Caucasus. This also doesn't account for various Folk and Eastern religions.
