Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
A new study shows that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and will surpass Christianity by the middle of the century.
The study from the Pew Research Center says that the only religion that won’t see increases in numbers by 2050 is Buddhism. Islam will be the only religion that increases faster than the world’s population on the whole.
Christianity and Islam will obtain equal status by 2050 according to the study.
The study showed bad news for Christianity in North America. The number of Christians in the United States will decline from 78 percent of the population to around 66 percent by 2050.
Muslims, “other religions” and those who are not affiliated with any religion will see the largest increases. The study predicts there will be more Muslims than Jews in the U.S. by 2050.
The study attributes the increase to Muslim women having the highest fertility rate with 3.1 children per woman. Christians are second with 2.7 per woman. The highest percentage of youth are Muslim at 34 percent compared to 27 percent for Christians.
