Islam Set To Overtake Christianity As Most Popular Religion, While US Population Also Rapidly Growing

(IBT) — Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and will overtake Christianity as the most popular before the end of this century, according to an analysis of religious surveys published Tuesday by the Pew Research Center.

With 1.6 billion, Muslims made up 23 percent of the world’s population, according to a 2010 Pew estimate. That figure was still some way short of the 2.2 billion Christians which comprised 31 percent of the population.

However, by 2050 there could be near parity between the numbers of adherents of the two religions for the first time in history. The reasons for this rapid growth are thought to be the greater number of children Muslims have compared to other religious groups and the comparatively young age of Muslims.

The largest percentage of Muslims are currently in the Asia-Pacific region, rather than the Middle East and North Africa. Indonesia currently has the largest number of Muslims of any country, but that title could be taken by India by 2050. By that point, it is also projected that Muslims will also make up 10 percent of Europe’s population.

Here I was thinking it was 2050, now it’s 2070 lol. They’ve bumped it back 20 YEARS. They have no idea and I think this is evidence that either Christianity is now picking back up steam or that they never knew to begin with because Pew said that by 2050 it would overtake Christianity, now they’ve bumped it to 2070. They have no idea.

Islam will be one and only allowed religion in NWO system. And Christianity never was a religion.
