In recent history it's mostly the US. It's a big country, and a rich country. Canadian evangelicals do their part, but will always play second fiddle just on population grounds, while Europe is just less religious. (The funny thing is that as a result of their success overseas, evangelical churches around here are getting pretty brown and diverse, which was not the plan)

Obviously this whole chart is outside of the colonial era.

Guess i can't really argue wity that. What remains is the question whether the change was mainly driven by outside forces, or is mainly the result of internal pressure. We know who recently exported the most bigotry, but was it more influencial then the bigotry that was exported there earlier? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree 1993 was after the colonial era, but my point is that Nigeria wasn't a blank slate that was never influenced by anything before they collected the data for this chart.

Sure. That goes for India as well, though. This thread really seemed to be about who's gotten worse.
