Wallachia and Moldavia was not christian around 1100, the Cumans who lived there then were pagans.

To add to the list of inaccuracies, parts of the Peloponnese weren’t converted until the 900s but on the map for 700 AD it is colored entirely purple

Christianity was exaggerated in 700. It is not possible for all of France to be Christian when Christianity had not yet spread this much even in Anatolia. The Iberian part should also be questioned because the first churches there were built in the Mozarabic style, that is, they were buildings created with Arab influence. It is not a logical argument to say that Iberia was taken under control in 711 and that there were very few Muslims in North Africa 11 years ago. The map is not accurate.

Interesting map in showing the Mediterranean origins of Christianity.
Christianity is a coastal, maritime religion, codified on Hellenistic urban centers of the Roman world such as Alexandria. You can’t understand Christianity (and its differences from Judaism, out of which it grew) if you don’t understand this fact.

I don’t think Muslims ever exceeded 10-20% in al-Andalus

I’m pretty sure that in 1100 there was still a fair bit of paganism in northern Germany and NW Poland, since the Wends and other Pagan Slavic tribes were still around.
