Islam leads global religious growth with 2.04 billion adherents worldwide, representing 25% of the global population.

Growth Statistics and Projections of Islam

Muslim population expands rapidly, and projections show a 70% increase between 2015 and 2060.  This growth surpasses the expected 32% increase in global population during the same period.  Muslims will likely reach near parity with Christians by 2050, reaching 2.8 billion followers that represent 30% of the world’s population.

Factors Driving Islamic Population Growth

Three main factors drive Islam’s rapid expansion:

• Demographic Advantage: Muslims maintain the youngest median age (24 years) among all major religious groups
• Higher Fertility Rates: Muslim women have an average of 3.1 children, while non-Muslim women have 2.2 children
• Population Momentum: Large youth populations entering childbearing years will give continued growth

Geographic Distribution of Muslim Growth

Muslim populations show clear patterns of concentration and growth across regions:

Region	Current Status	Projected Growth
Asia-Pacific	Largest concentration (62% of Muslims)	Expected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050
Middle East & North Africa	93% Muslim population	Projected to reach 94% by 2050
Sub-Saharan Africa	30% Muslim population	Expected to reach 35% by 2050
Europe	6% current Muslim share	Projected to reach 10% by 2050

Asia sees the most notable regional changes.  India will surpass Indonesia as the country with the largest Muslim population.  Europe’s Muslim population will grow by 63% between 2010 and 2050, while the overall European population decreases by 6%.

Demographics shift dramatically in countries with large Muslim minorities.  India’s Muslim population will increase from 14.9% in 2015 to 19.4% by 2060.  Nigeria‘s population will change from a roughly equal Christian-Muslim split to a Muslim majority of 60.5% by 2060.[...]

Christianity’s Global Growth Trends

Christians worldwide are growing at 1.08% each year.  This rate edges slightly above the global population growth. .[...]<

Regional Christian Population Changes

Christian demographics show a dramatic move from the Global North to the Global South.  Europe’s Christian population dropped from 66% in 1910 to 25.6% in 2010.  Sub-Saharan Africa tells a different story.  The region’s Christian population jumped from 9% in 1910 to 63% in 2010.[...]

Evangelical Christianity shows remarkable expansion. Numbers jumped from 98 million believers in 1970 to more than 342 million today. The Global South leads this surge.

Now if there only were a chart showing the Born-into children that end up being Flee-from adults...

I guess the Pasties and the Shakers fall under the Nips category.

It might show how well the religions are indoctrinating uh, teaching their children.
