There Will Be More Muslims In the World than Christians by 2070
geobeats on 2 Apr 2015 At present the number of Christians in the world is greater than that of Muslims, but according to the calculations of the Pew Research Center, that will change by 2050.
At present, the number of Christians in the world is greater than that of Muslims, but according to the calculations of the Pew Research Center, that gap will narrow significantly by 2050.
Between now and then, it’s estimated that the current Muslim population will experience a growth of around 73%.
Meanwhile, the Christian community will likely only expand by about 35%.
As a result, by mid-century there will be an estimated 2.8 billion Muslims as compared to 2.9 billion Christians.
Current populations of each religion are approximately 1.6 billion and 2.2 billion, respectively.
The very large difference in the projected futures for the two faiths is linked to the anticipated population explosion worldwide.
By 2050 there will be billions more people occupying the planet than there are now, but some areas will experience larger increases than others.
Islam is the dominant religion in some of the world’s fastest growing areas, and its practice will likely expand accordingly.
In fact, it’s believed that by 2070 it will eclipse Christianity as the most followed faith in the world.
