New projections by the pue research centre shows that the facters fertility rates as well as the size of youth poulations among
the world's major religions as well as people switching one faith to another is going to really determine which
religion is going to grow the fastest
and if current trends continue over the next 4 decades even though cristianity will continue to remain as the largest religious group
Islam will grow faster than any other religion in the entire world
Hey guys, thanks for joinig me in the FTD facts
My name is Leroy Kenton and I'm gonna be looking on more that
why Islam is the fastest growing religion but before getting in to this episode , guys
hit that like button as well as subscribe if you are new here to the FTD facts as well as click that bell notification
and don't miss any of our educational videos that we post here daily on this channel
so we have talked about Islam quite a bit on this channel so now I am going to dive in
lttle bit more on some of the factors of why Islam is now the fastest growing religion ?
or projected to be the fastest growing religion if things continue the way they are
so as the year 2010, cristianity was by far the world's largest religion
with an estimated 2.2 billion followers which was nearly a third of the globe's population
and in the second place was Islam at 1.6 billion followers
Now when we look at the projections by the year 2050 the number of muslims will be nearly equal to
the number of Christians all around the world
and then looking at europe the muslims will make up ten percent of the overall population and then finally in United States christians will decline from
more than three-quarters to two-thirds of the poulation in the year 2050
However, muslims will be more numerous in the U.S then people who identify Jewish religion
Now, these projections taken to account a few things.
First, the current size and geographic distribution of world's major religions as well as age diffrences,fertility and mortality rates
But what is threal reason why Islam is growing so fast ?
Well, to answer this question,I wanna look at four things
so first of globally muslims have the high fertility rate with an average of 3.1 children per woman who gives birth
Muslims have more children then the other major religions in the world
and the other important thing that determines the growth, is the age distribution
of each religious group so from the year 2010, the high percent of muslims were younger than the age of 15
which means that the muslims had a higher youth population than any other religion
which is why muslims are projected to grow faster than the world's over all population
Yeah that is crazy
and the third thing I wanna look at is, the international migration
the international migration is also going to impact the muslim population
using data from previous migration patterns, we see that the muslims are expected to increase from 5.9 percent to
to 10.2 percent in year 2050 in europe alone
and now the fourth and final thing,
By the year 2050, the muslims are expected tto make up more than 50 percent of population in 51 countries around the world
We also see that the republic of macedonia and nigeria are projected to gain muslim majority by that time
Meanwhile, the switching and the people that have changed faith to an other faith
this is expeected to hinder the growth of christianity by an extimated 72 million between the years 2015 to the
year 2060.However, this is not expected to have a negative net impact on the muslim population and growth
all around the world.So, based on all these factors, by the year 2050, Islam would be the largest religion on the planet
I look to your thoughts and comments below, also share any other factors you see as to why Islam is turning to grow that fast
