s Islam, to surpass Christianity by 2070, will be only major religion to increase faster than worlds population
By Julio Severo
There will be more Muslims than Christians in the world in less than eighty years, according to a Pew Research Centers report.
The report said that while Christians will increase to 2.92 billion adherents by 2050, Muslims will reach 2.76 billion, making those religions about 30 percent of the world population. Muslims will outnumber Jews in the U.S. by 2050. Yet, the report said that by the end of this century, Islam will be the dominant religion in the world.
Several countries are also projected to have a different religious majority by 2050.
By 2050, 4 in 10 Christians are expected to be located in Africa. And Christians will no longer be a majority in the United Kingdom, France, Australia and the Netherlands, which will have large Muslim populations.
The DailyMail said that Islam will thrive due to its young population and high fertility rates, with an average of 3.1 children per woman. The rate is well above the 2.1 replacement level the minimum typically needed to maintain a stable population.
The DailyMail added, the fertility rate of Christians
is around 2.7 children per woman.
Actually, Muslims have not high fertility rates. They have rates Christians and others always had for thousands of years. Yet, because of massive population control campaigns, especially in the 20th century, birthrates fell and keep falling.
Wars, famines, religious revival and all kinds of things could change the picture, said Dr. Conrad Hackett, the lead researcher and demographer for the Pew report.
Yet, even without a massive Islamic threat hanging on their heads, Christians are destroying the future of their families through family planning. God planning is out of their minds.
And now researchers can see that a nation or religion with more children will win the civilization battle. Children are an important natural resource for nations and civilizations. A few of them spells a weak culture and slow death.
Another distinguishing characteristic of many Muslims is that they are very protective of their many children and their education, while Christians who do not choose homeschooling often let their small number of children be indoctrinated at public schools by evolution, birth control and other pagan ideologies. Eventually, they lose the few children they have.
Reporting on the Pew Research Centers report, the Associated Press stressed that the Christian population in the United States will suffer a drastic drop, while atheists and agnostics will increase. AP said, Atheists, agnostics and people who dont identify with a religion will increase in much of Europe and North America, but globally will drop from about 16 percent to 13 percent of the population. Within the U.S., people with no religious affiliation are projected to become more than a quarter of the population, while the share of Christians is expected to decrease from more than three-quarters to two-thirds.
Family planning and child education under government control among Christians will result in few children committed to the God of their fathers.
How can Christians in America and other nations expect abundant supernatural resources from God and his inheritance when they despise his abundant natural resources and inheritance?
If Christians today had normal, large families as Christians had in the Bible times and if they spread the Gospel and made disciples as commanded by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20, Muslims would have no increase in America, Europe and other traditionally Christian nations.
With the sacrifice of their families and children, Christians are surrendering their future and inheritance to Islam, which is the ideology behind of the most persecution and murder of Christians around the world today.

I have read the study and there is a lot of good news for Christianity in here.
The study is based purely on demographics— not conversion.
Islam has negligible conversion capacity. It is quite alienating.
Christianity has most of its gains mostly through conversion. Ignoring that factor suggests that Christianity will in fact continue to be much larger throughout the century.
The study also discounts almost entirely the Christian population of china. In the appendix, they acknowledge that if they are even slightly off in undercounting Chinese Christians, it would complete change the statistics dramatically because it is the largest national population in the world.
There could easily be 100 million Christians in China instead of 10 million or fewer. In such a world, it would be difficult to match christianity for growth. Christianity will grow dramatically in Africa and has huge potential in China and Asia broadly based on conversion.
The potential collapse of closed societies means evangelism could brings tens of millions of additional Christians that Islam is poorly positioned to gain. The data also points to a demographic decline of Islam beginning in 2070-— that is probably why Pew featured that point in time. if you study the arcs of Christianity and Islam in the charts, it seems rather clear that the Islam arc will begin to bend back down as their demographics change.
The charts tend to downplay the demographic collapse happening in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and other parts of the radical Islamic world.
I think Christianity will likely continue to grow into a much larger religion in the world —perhaps approaching 40%. Christianity is and will be for some time arguably the most popular idea in the world.

Does this assume current fertility rates remain constant over the next 55 years?
To: juliosevero
50 years?
They will be cinders by then.

Highly recommend everyone give this a listen. Robert Morris-Gateway (Scripture that to some will be mindboggling with answers to questions so aptly explained)
The final chapter of life on this earth as we know it has already been written. The victory has been recorded. Sadly many are not heeding the call.

Very interesting information. I have searched in Google after it, but I have not found it. Please, could you give me some like to this information?
To: juliosevero
By 2070, I suspect the entire world will be Christians.
To: lonestar67
I agree with this, many good point you have made... In particular, I have a friend in China who is doing missionary work...reports many openly Christian and many more who are in the closet, afraid to speak out too loudly.

“Islam still has zer0 worthwhile content.”
Islam may be a brutal religion currently built largely upon war on other faiths, but it takes a fool to deny the few things it does right or rather a few things modern ‘western’ or ‘de-christianized western’ culture is now self-destructively doing wrong with disastrous long term consequences.
Instead of embracing family and God, we have leaders embracing sodomy and other forms of self-destruction and sin that only push us further into relative decline. As a result the west has very little in the way of a future, at least as a major faith.
The west is dying of a cultural plague known as leftist multicultural secularism that is decidedly anti-family and anti-life. Islam for everything it does wrong it rejects that, that alone gives their faith an edge into the future.

“Given the speed with which they are murdering Christians and Jews, it will probably be much earlier than 2070. “
When they start taking over christian countries and enacting their laws there will be a flood of converts from the currently weak faith or faithless leftist that survive largely out of fear for their life or desire for power.
Islam for all its problems has managed to reject the one cultural poison of liberalism that has been destroying the western(formerly christian) world. As long as that doesn’t change they will inevitably win the battle of civilization, and come to dominate the earth.
