Quantifying the significance of cross-religion links in maintaining network connectivity. (a) Circular plot of links within and between religions, with links’ directions being neglected. Inter-religion links are all colored in light colors to emphasize cross-religion links. (b) Link percolation processes by gradually removing cross-religion links in a random order (black circles), links with largest betweennesses (red squares), links with largest bridgenesses (blue triangles), and links with highest degrees (green diamonds), respectively. The upper and lower plots show the changes of giant component size and normalized susceptibility as the increase of the fraction of removed links
