Pew Research Center Report, based in Washington, America, has said in a new study that the religious structure of the world has been changing rapidly in the last decade. Between 2010 and 2020, there was a huge increase in the global population and the number of almost all major religions increased, but among all this, the growth of the Muslim population was the fastest, while the share of Christianity has gradually declined.

According to Pew Research Center Report, there were about 2.18 billion Christians in the world in 2010, which increased to 2.30 billion in 2020. Despite the increase in numbers, the proportion of Christians in the world population decreased from 30.6% to 28.8%. The study also found that the birth rate in Christianity remained the same, but a large number of people were leaving the religion. According to the author of the report, Conrad Hackett, for every new Christian, three people distance themselves from Christianity. This nature is affecting the population of Christian society.

Rapid expansion in population of Islam

Between 2010 and 2020, the population of Islam has increased by approximately 34.7 crores. Now the number of Muslims in the world has exceeded 2 billion. Their share increased from 23.8% to 25.6%. There are many reasons for this increase, like the rate of conversion here is very low, due to which the natural increase is happening rapidly. Experts estimate that in the coming decades the Christian and Muslim populations may be almost equal.

Hinduism and Judaism stable population

The report shows that the population of Hindu religion increased by about 126 million and its total has reached 1.2 billion. Yet globally its share remains stable at around 14.9%. A slight increase was also recorded in Judaism, it was 1.38 crore in 2010, which increased to 1.48 crore in 2020. This is still only 0.2% of the world’s population. There is very little conversion in both the religions, due to which their position remained stable.

Decline in Buddhism and rise of non-religious

The population of Buddhism was 34.3 crore in 2010, which decreased to 32.4 crore in 2020. Low birth rate and conversion were the main reasons for its decline. On the other hand, the number of unaffiliated or non-religious people has increased. This category includes atheists, agnostics and those who do not want to join any religion. Their share was 23.3% in 2010, which increased to 24.2% in 2020. This has happened because of people leaving religion from Christian society. The largest number of unaffiliated people are found in China, America and Japan.

Growing religiosity in Africa and Asia

The report states that now about 31% of the world’s Christians live in Sub-Saharan Africa, whereas in 2010 this figure was 24.8%. The high birth rate and young population here are the main reasons for this. On the contrary, the influence of Christianity is declining in Europe. In African countries like Mozambique, an increase of about 5% has been recorded in the Christian population. Pew Research Center report states that by the middle of the 21st century, Christians and Muslims together will lead almost half of the world’s population. Secularism and disaffiliation will increase in developed countries, while religious identity and faith will become stronger in Africa and Asia.

Pew Research Center Report on Religious Population: The Muslim community has emerged as the fastest growing religious group in the world, while the global population of Christianity has seen a decline. These figures have been released in a recent report by Pew Research Center.

It has been said in this report that in the next 25 years, India will be a country where the most Muslims in the world will be. According to the report, the Muslim population increased by 34.7 crores. This increase is even more than that increase of all religions.

The share of Muslims increased globally from 23.9 percent in 2010 to 25.6 percent in 2020. Poo’s senior demographic specialist Hackett said that the birth rate of children among Muslims is higher than the mortality rate.

What is the status of Hindus?

According to the report, the Hindu population increased by 12 percent between 2010 and 2020, which is almost equal to global population growth. The number of Hindus in 2020 was 1.2 billion, which is 14.9 percent of the global population. The Hindu population in India declined from 80 percent to 79 percent in 2020 in 2010, while the Muslim population increased from 14.3 percent to 15.2 percent. The Muslim population in India registered an increase of 3.56 crores.

Atheists increased in Christianity

The number of Christians in the world increased from 2.18 billion to 2.30 billion, but the global stake declined from 30.6 percent to 28.8 percent. This deficiency is mainly due to leaving religion, especially in Europe, North America and Australia. The number of atheists has increased by 27 crores to 1.9 billion, which is 24.2 percent of the global population. This group is the second fastest growing group after Muslims. Only 78.3 percent of athest population in China lives.

Why is Muslim population increasing?

The rapid population growth in the Muslim community is their average youth population and high fertility rate. In 2010, the age of 35 percent of the total Muslims of the world was under 15 years. This was the highest compared to any other religious group. Based on the data of 2015-2020, a Muslim woman produces 2.9 children on an average, while for a non-Muslim woman, this figure is 2.2 percent. Apart from this, one third of the Muslim population is under 15 years of age, which increases the chances of future increase.

Pew Research Report on Population: The Pew Research Center has conducted a population -based survey, in which shocking figures have been revealed. This data is between 2010 and 2020, in which data has been prepared about the religious group. The Christian community is considered to be the largest religious group in the world. Its population increased to 2.3 billion (230 crore) from 2010 to 2020. However, this number shows an increase of 122 million, but their percentage stake declined compared to the global population.

In 2010, Christians were 30.6% of the world’s population, while in 2020 it declined to 28.8 percent. This means that even though Christians grow numerically, they lagged behind in proportion to the population. The reason for this may be that population growth in Christian -dominated regions (such as North America and Europe) is slowing down, while religions such as Islam are spreading more rapidly in high growth rates.

Islam is the fastest growing religious group in the world
Between 2010 and 2020, there was a tremendous increase of 347 million in the Muslim population, which increased the total number to more than 1.9 billion. This growth is more than the combined growth of all other religions. The global share of Muslims increased from 23.8% to 25.6%. The reason for this boom is high birth rate and youth population, especially in areas such as Middle East, Africa and South Asia.

Decline in Buddhism is a worrying sign
Buddhism is a major ancient religion of the world, but between 2010 and 2020 it saw a decline of 19 million. This number is now limited to 324 million. The global stake has also fallen from 4.9 per cent to 4.1 per cent. This decline may be due to increasing distance from religion and low birth rate in countries like China, Japan and South Korea.

Increasing number of nons
R They have now become the third largest group in the world. Their number increased by 270 million to 1.9 billion, which represents 24.2 per cent global population. This means that one in every four person is no longer associated with any religion. This trend is being seen mainly in Europe, America, Japan and urban China.

Stability in Hinduism in the population of the world
The number of Hindus exceeded 1.2 billion, with an increase of 126 million. His global stake was stable at 14.9 percent. This stability indicates that population growth in Hindu-majority countries like India and Nepal has been around the global average. At the same time, there was a slight increase in the number of Jews. Now it is about 14.8 million. Their global stake is 0.2 per cent, which makes them the smallest religious group in the study. All other religions such as Sikhs, Jains, Bahai, folk religion, 2.2 per cent of the global share remained stable.

Religious status of the world
By 2020, 75.8 percent of the world’s people were associated with some religion. The remaining 24.2 percent people were different from any religious identity. This is a decline of about 1 percent compared to 2010, indicating that gradually religious discomfort is increasing globally.

Pew Researh Report on Islam: The latest report of Pew Research Center states that in the coming 35 years, Islam religion will become the fastest growing religion in the world. According to Pew report, by 2060, the estimated figure of Muslim population will be more than 3 billion. At present, the total Muslim population in the world is about 2 billion at present. The population rate, conversion rate and young Muslim population are being held responsible for increasing the number of Muslims in the coming time. Islam is not only growing on the basis of birth rate, but the rate of maintaining its identity is also very high.

Pew survey (in 13 countries) has revealed that more than 90% of people who grew up in Muslim families still consider themselves Muslims. Only in the US, this number decreases to about 74%, which is less than the rest of the countries. Christianity is the lowest number of those who leave Islam compared to Judaism, Judaism and Hinduism. Most of the people who leave Islam no longer believe any religion or recognize themselves as Christians. In countries like America, Kenya, Ghana, Christians from Christians were seen most from Islam

Reality of conversion: What do figures say compared to media?
Conversion in the era of religious polarization is a controversial issue, but Pu Report clarifies that Islam in 13 countries of the world is less than 3%. In Muslim -dominated countries such as Indonesia, the rate of conversion or leaving in Islam is less than 1%. The contribution of conversion in the population growth of Islam is enough. This is the main reason for this that its population is not being seen and it is constantly increasing.

Status of Hinduism
In Pew Report, information about Hinduism has been received from only four countries. This is India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and America. Almost all people, raised as Hindus in India and Bangladesh, are still Hindus. In Sri Lanka, 9 out of 10 Hindus have maintained their identity. In America, only 82% of Hinduism raised in Hinduism consider themselves Hindus when they are adults. 11% of Hindus in America are now atheists, agnostists or unrelated to religion. Many former Hindus in Sri Lanka now convert to Christianity. According to the survey conducted in India and Bangladesh, religious stability is the highest here. Here 99% of Hindus and Muslims remain on their congenital religion. It is a symbol of the strength, family values ​​and religious social structure of religious culture.

Muslim population in America: According to the report of Pew Research Center, by 2040 in the US, the population of Muslims will beat the Jews. In this way, in the coming 15 years, the population of Muslims in America will be the highest after Christians. According to the report, the Muslim population in the US in 2007 was 2.35 million, which increased to 3.45 million by 2017. This population includes most people of immigrants or second generation of immigrants. Currently, this number is growing at an average rate of 100,000 per year and is likely to reach 8.1 million by 2050. This growth is not only numerically important, but also indicates a remarkable change in the American religious landscape.

According to Pew Research, the average age of Muslims in the US is less than other religious groups. This leads to higher reproductive rates, which helps to increase the population. In 2016, the number of Muslim immigrants coming to America reached a record level. Muslims have a major stake in the immigrants coming in America, which is the second major reason for population growth.

Muslim community participation
Religious diversity and freedom are given importance in the social structure of America. This has given Muslims an opportunity for stability and progress there, which has seen an increase in their number. Even though Christianity will be prominent by 2040, the social and political participation of the Muslim community will increase significantly. For example, people of Muslim community in America are becoming more active in higher education and business. Despite the diversity, challenges like Islamophobia and prejudice can also come up with this increase.

Social influence of Muslim life in America
The increase in the Muslim community has increased the acceptance and visibility of cultural elements like hijab, Ramadan, Eid in American society. Most Muslims are now getting representation in areas like education, health, technology and media, which further strengthens Muslim identity. Community -based mosques and institutions are also being built rapidly in the US.

Rapid growth of Muslim population
The rapid growth of the Muslim population in the US is not only a game of numbers, but it is a sign of a major social change. This change will give a new dimension to America’s religious diversity, cultural inclusion and political identity. If this trend continues in this way, then Muslims can become the center of religious and social discourse of the United States in the coming years.

Global Muslim Population: The study of Pew Research has estimated that the global Muslim population will increase by 70 per cent and by 2060 it will cross the 3 billion mark. This study has been done by the Pew Research Center, which states that Islam has become the fastest growing religion in the world. The possibility of its expansion in future is quite high.

A significant increase in Muslim population will be seen in countries like Canada and America. The population of Muslims in Canada will be three times in the next five years, while the number of Muslim children in America will also increase rapidly.

Rapid growth in Muslim population in Canada and America
According to the Pew Research Center, the Muslim population in Canada will increase from 940,000 of 2010 to 2.7 million by 2030, which will be 6.6 percent of the total population. The main reasons behind this growth include migration, high birth rate and young Muslim population. Thus, there will be a rapid increase in Muslim population in America. In 2010, there were about 200,000 Muslim children aged 0-4, whose number is expected to exceed 650,000 by 2030. This reflects the growing trend of Muslim population in America.

Due to increase in Muslim population globally
According to the study, there are three major reasons behind the expansion of Islam:

Youth Population: The Muslim population is much younger than other religious groups, which is more likely to expand.
High fertility rate: The fertility rate of Muslims is higher than other religions, due to which their number is increasing rapidly.
Religion change: The practice of conversion in Islam in some areas is also a reason for the increase in Muslim population.

Hindu -dominatedness in India intact, but global stake will decrease
The study said that India and Nepal will continue to be Hindu -dominated nations in future also. In 2010, Hindus had 80 per cent stake in India’s population, and by 2050 it will be reduced to 77 per cent. Despite this, India will remain the main center of Hinduism. By 2050, India’s population will be 18 per cent of the world’s total population, which will hold the global share of Hinduism 15 per cent. In the next 25 years, the global Hindu population will increase from 1 billion to 1.4 billion, which is equal to the global trend.

World Hindu-Muslim Population: The world’s religious image is changing rapidly, and by 2050 this change will become even more clear. Major religions of the world are growing and changes mainly due to reasons such as fertility rates, youth population and conversion from people. According to an estimate of Pew Research Center, Islam will be the fastest growing religion until the middle of the 21st century.

By 2050, the population of people who believe in the religion of Islam is expected to increase by 73 percent. By 2050, the number of Muslims will be 2.8 billion, which will be 30 percent of the world’s population. The global population of Hinduism will also increase, which will increase from 1 billion to 1.4 billion. This growth will maintain coordination with global population growth, and the Hindu population will remain 15 percent of the world’s total population.

Extension of Muslim population in Canada and America
The Muslim population in Canada and America is likely to increase rapidly. In Canada, the Muslim population will be tripled by 2030, which will increase from 940,000 to 2.7 million in 2010. This will be 6.6 percent of the total population of Canada. The Muslim population will also be seen in America. By 2030, the number of Muslim children of 0-4 years in the US will exceed 650,000, which was 200,000 in 2010.

Hinduism and demographics of India
India and Nepal will continue to be Hindu -dominated countries till 2050. In 2010, 80 percent of India’s population was Hindu, while by 2050 it will be 77 percent. However, India’s population will remain 18 per cent of the total population of the world, so that the global share of Hinduism will remain 15 per cent.

Religious image of the world
By 2050, there will be major changes in the world’s religious image. Islam will be the fastest growing religion, while Christianity will remain the largest religious group. The population of Hinduism will also remain stable, while Buddhism is less likely to increase. These demographic changes can also have a significant impact on the politics, society and cultural structures of the world.
