There is no single place, but you can find all five in cosmopolitan cities like London for example. All five are found in close proximity in Eastern Asia and Indonesia:

  • If you want to count Atheism as a religion, China represents Atheism
  • Christianity has a majority in North America
  • Islam has a majority in Indonesia
  • Hinduism has a great following throughout South-East Asia, but of course is most dominant in India
  • Chinese Traditional religion is naturally practised mostly in China. It is an exceptional example of how something concentrated in one place exceeds the value of that in other places, but more dispersed (for example, Mandarin Chinese is the third most spoken language in the world, but only a tiny proportion of this is actually outside the borders) Atheism is still dominant, of course
  • Buddhism has the majority in South-East Asia, in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia etc.

It depends on what your idea of concentrated is of course. For me, to see such diversity considering that these countries are so close together is exceptional, but you may be looking for a specific location. Any religiously diverse country like Britain will tick that box.
