At this time the population of the whole world is crossing 800 crores. According to the report of the worldometer, the biggest stake in it is that of Islam and Christianity, but the recent Pew Research Center Report 2025 has made a big disclosure on religious trends. According to the report, 1 out of every 10 adults under the age of 55 have renounced the religion that he had been playing since childhood. This is considered to be a sign of major changes in the religious scenario.

Christians are at the forefront of the list of renunciation of religion. It has seen a more decline. According to the report of the Pew Research Center Report 2025, 17.1 of the 100 Christians left religion and only 5.5% of the people have adopted Christianity. In this way, there was a net loss of 11.6% in total. These figures clearly show that Christianity is suffering the most from conversion globally.

High figures in both quitting and adopting Buddhism
Talking about the Buddhism present in the world, 22.1% of the 100 Buddhists left religion, which is the most in all religions. At the same time, 12.3% of people adopted Buddhism. In this way the net loss was 9.8%. The retention rate of Buddhism is only 78%, which makes it the weakest in maintaining followers.

The biggest benefit of nones people
People unrelated with religion (called Nones in English) are currently registering the biggest growth. Out of 100, 24.2% of the people left religion and became unrelated. 7.5% of the people left unrelatedness and joined some religion. There has been a total increase of 16.7%. It makes it clear that in today’s generation, the distance from faith and the trend of adopting religious freedom is increasing rapidly.

Stability in Muslim and Hinduism
In the world, where people of many religions are renouncing their basic religion, the rate of conversion in Islam and Hinduism is very low. The number of those who leave and adopt religion is almost equal. Socio-cultural strength and family commitment are considered to be the main reason behind this stability. The Pew Research Report explained the direct connection between Un Human Development Index (HDI) on conversion. In HDi 0.8 or more countries (eg America, Canada, Europe), 18% of adults left their childhood religion. Only 3% of people left religion in countries with a country with a country below 0.55 (such as Africa and parts of South Asia). This data shows that the higher education, income and freedom, the greater the possibility of conversion and unrelatedness.

Pew Research report on religion: Many religions live in the world, whose population is more than 800 crores. According to the report of the worldometer, the largest population of these 800 crores is of those who believe in Islam and Christianity. However, in the meantime the Pew Research Report has made a survey -based disclosure that 1 in 10 adults under the age of 55 in the world have left their childhood religion.

According to the report of the Pew Research Center, Christianity has suffered the most net loss due to conversion globally. According to statistics, 17.1 out of every 100 people, who grew up in Christianity, left religion. There were only 5.5 people who adopted Christianity. That is, the net loss of 11.6 people in total. This decline in followers of Christianity is a matter of concern.

High rate of conversion in Buddhism
Buddhist figures are also no less shocking. Out of 100 Buddhists, 22.1 people left religion, which is the highest among all religions. At the same time, 12.3 people adopted Buddhism, due to which the net loss was 9.8. That is, the activity of conversion in Buddhism is being seen on both sides – both leaving and adopting religion. The retention rate is only 78%, this religion is behind in maintaining its followers.

The most benefit of religious religious people
An important fact in this report also revealed that religiously unrelated people have benefited the most. Out of 100, 24.2 people left religious affiliation and became unrelated, while only 7.5 left unrelatedness and joined some religion. In this way, 16.7 got a net profit. This shows that the distance from faith is increasing in today’s generation and the trend of adopting religious freedom has intensified.

Stability in Muslim and Hinduism
The rate of conversion in Muslim and Hindu religions has been quite stable. The number of those who leave and adopt religion is almost equal. Therefore, these religions did not have any special benefit or loss. This can probably be due to the socio-cultural strength of these communities and family/community commitment related to religion.

Which countries have the highest conversion?
Conversion is common in high HDi countries. From the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) it is clear that 18% of adults left their childhood religion there. These countries are associated with more educational levels, high income and freedom, which makes people adopt independent ideology more. Only 3% of people leave their childhood religion in countries where HDi scores are less than 0.55 (eg part of Africa and South Asia). The reason for this may be, religious social pressure, legal restrictions or traditional structure should be the reason.
