Yep. And subsaharan Africa is a loss, because I'm guessing it's the place bucking the trend. I wouldn't go quite as far as "selective", though, since that implies intentionality or completely different results.

I would guess that the rest of MENA looks a lot like Turkey, if you could manage to safely poll it - a starting point that's uniformly hostile, but a few people being swayed by progressive influence over time. Religious belief of the younger generations is also descending faster than anywhere else IIRC.

North Korea would also be fascinating, with a magic wand.

If you leave out data that bucks a trend you like, then you are being selective.

I don't really see evidence of either. Many minor countries elsewhere are neglected as well, and it's still a global trend.

So it's a global trend based on non-global data carefully selected to leave out anything that doesn't agree?

It's also just a global trend anecdotally, and probably based on other research that's been done. And it almost certainly does extend to MENA for reasons I mentioned. This is one of those infographics that's not really surprising.

based on non-global data carefully selected to leave out anything that doesn’t agree?

Basically, asked and answered.

Lol, indeed.

Edit: Thanks, I unsubbed this feed. Scientific illiterates masturbating over how "objective" their data is.
