Updating to the 2012 census?[edit]

The main Rwanda article as well as some others use the more recent Rwandan 2012 census as a source. Is there any reason this is not used here? I'll happily be the one to update the article (or someone else can if they want to, I really don't care), but I'm just wondering if there's any reason not to. The actual source seems to have 404'd, but it's archived in ref 243 here and ref 86 here, for example, so it's possible to find it still. I'll make the change sometime this weekend unless anybody tells me not to. 83.233.110.5 (talk) 22:04, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. By all means, feel free to update the stats! Iryna Harpy (talk) 05:20, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Imbalance[edit]

This is an article about religion generally in Rwanda. Apart from the brief statement of the proportions of different religions in the introduction, the article majors on the negative, with respect to ethnicism and genocide. This is understandable, but imbalanced. The history section says nothing about the history of religion in Rwanda in general, and focuses in the ethnic divide. Where is the information about the the history of the arrival and development of religions? The major contributions of religions to development, to education, health care? To focus almost exclusively on the negative with no mention of the positive is imbalanced, and presents a distorted picture. By default it smacks of POV.

Religion and ethnicity[edit]

Neither this entry nor the main article on Rwanda discusses the religious makeup of the Hutu and Tutsi populations. Were the religious affiliations distributed more or less the same among the two ethnic groups, or was one more Catholic, or Protestant, or other religion than the other?
