"Christianity had a seven-century head-start on Islam, and Islam is finally catching up."
Quite the remark, eh?
It comes from a report issued today...... Christmas.
"By the end of the century, Muslims could outnumber Christians for the first time in history, according to a report released by the Pew Research Center."
Other comments from Pew:
"That's not to say that the total number of Christians is decreasing; Christianity's growth rate is just not as fast as Islam's. While the number of Christians will increase from about 2.1 billion to 2.9 billion by 2050, Muslims will jump from 1.6 billion to 2.8 billion."
"Atheists, agnostics and those who do not affiliate with religion will make up a smaller percentage of the world's total population by 2050 — even though the group is growing in the U.S. and Europe."
