How religion-based population imbalance affects the territory of a country.
(examples from last few decades)

1. East Timor

In a UN-supervised referendum held in 1999, 78.5 per cent of the people chose independence from Indonesia. The country was officially recognised by the UN in 2002.

At present, 97.6 percent of the population in East Timor is Catholic, 1.96 percent are Protestant, and less than 1 percent are Muslim.

2. South Sudan

It became independent from the Muslim-dominated north Sudan after a referendum in 2011.

At present the majority population (60 per cent) is Christian while indigenous religions form 33 percent of the population and 6 percent are Muslim.

3. Kosovo
Kosovo is an ethnic Albanian territory that was once part Yugoslavia (comprising Serbia and Montenegro).

In 1998-99, the Kosovo Liberation Army fought against Serbian forces until NATO intervened and forced the latter to withdraw from Kosovo, which ultimately declared independence in 2008.

In Kosovo, 95.6 percent of the population is Muslim, 2.2 per cent are Roman Catholic, and 1.4 per cent Serbian Orthodox.

======

Common pattern -

Demographic disbalance especially in border areas
Involvement of external forces like UN and NATO
Use of force and/or referendum in that area.

Separatist movements in India also have religion as 1 of the many important factors
