Muslim population will rise significantly in next 25 years in India and…, Hindus will…
New Delhi: There are numerous religions in India and the world, with their followers in millions. Among them, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism have the largest populations. Particularly in continents like Europe, America, Asia, and Africa, the number of Christians and Muslims is significant. Christianity dominates in Europe and America. In some parts of Asia and Africa, Muslims are in the majority. On the other hand, Hinduism is primarily centered in India and the followers of Sanatan Dharma are found in neighbouring Nepal.
In addition, the population of Hindus in other countries is quite sparse. Year by year, an increase in the number of followers of almost every religion has been recorded, except for a few. According to a report, the population of Muslims is growing rapidly all over the world. The religious demographic could change significantly in the next 25 years.
According to a report by the Pew Research Center, the religious profile of the world is continually changing. The report, released in 2015, estimates trends up to the year 2050. Fertility rates and the number of youth in the major religions of the world are affecting religion-based populations. In addition, people are continually changing their religions, which is impacting the populations of those religions.
The research report states that in the coming decades, the population of Christians will remain the largest, but the population of Muslims will grow at the fastest rate during this period. According to the report, if this trend continues, by 2050, the population of Muslims will become equal to that of Christians.
According to the Pew Research report, in the coming 25 years (i.e., by the year 2050), the population of Christians and Muslims will be equal. In Europe, the Muslim population is expected to reach 10 percent of the total population in the next two and a half decades. In this way, the influence of Islam in Europe will significantly increase. In America and France, the population of people who have no affiliation with any religion will grow. By 2050, the number of Christians in America is expected to decline, and Jews will not be the second largest group in the non-Christian category. An increase in the number of adherents of Islam is anticipated.
