Why is it that the only people asking and answering questions seem to be either born again christians or catholics? Where are all the Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc...? It seems that the followers of Jesus are the only ones with a ton of free time on their hands.

Well, you've got to allow for an English speaking bias.
(though with some of the spelling and grammar around here,
"It's English, Jim, but not as we know it".)
A lower proportion of Muslims and Hindus will have English, and internet access, than in the UK and the USA.
But I'm sure if you search for past questions on particular faiths and religions, most will have appeared at some point.
Islam is certainly represented, I've seen Baha'i and a range of Wiccan, neo-pagan and new age questions, and not just from trolls trying to provoke a reaction.
I think the John Frum cargo cult is the most esoteric one I've commented on.
Me: ex-Christian atheist.

They are on the action line. Right now, Buddhist priests are leading the revolt against a militarist government in Myanmar. The Pillars of Wisdom in Islam exhort believers to assist the poor and sick. Jewish people are very active in many endeavours within the community-at-large. Many religions are very active in helping people. They put their feet where the need is. Fundamentalists rather seem to talk and judge a lot and send people other than themselves to the mission field.

There are a few Muslim regulars about, and a couple of Hindus. I think that if you logged in in a language other than English you'd find plenty more. Pagans and Wiccans are very well-represented on this website, given their relative lack of numbers in day-to-day life.

I am a Hindu. I come on here from time to time but to be honest, the majority of questions are Christian related so I do not answer all that many.

Lol, the Jews are busy working/running businesses to earn $$$$! Muslims do the same thing in their "Allahu Akcbah" language!

Or perhaps the only ones insecure enough about their beliefs to see a need to defend them.

Actually, I'm at work making 24 bucks an hour. I do this when things are slow. What are you doing?
