Bias confirmed. According to Google Maps "Quick Facts": Poland is a place of Jewish heritage, and not much else...

Wow, this is actually really bad.

> In 2014, an estimated 87% of the population belonged to the Catholic Church

> Prior to Second World War there were 3,500,000 Jews in the Polish Second Republic, about 10% of the general population.

I have no idea where they got the claim that Poland is a place of Jewish heritage, what the hell google?

maybe the intent was to say that Poland is a prominent place _for_ Jewish heritage, i.e. a large proportion of the Jewish people lived in Poland for ~1,000 years.

It doesn’t make sense to prioritize that over the clear majority of Christians.
