There are a lot of errors and omissions. First of all they don't mention Zoroaster, the Egyptian religions or many others ( even though Judaism borrowed a lot from Zoroaster). Second they miss the fact that Christianity spread to Ethiopia* in ca 400 AD; before it had reached most of N. Europe. And finally they don't mention any of the new world religions.

But other than that it is interesting. All of the great world religions started in Asia.
