Muslim population: islam is the religion with the fastest rate of growth in the world. According to numerous studies, the number of Muslims will increase by 70% and surpass 3 billion by 2060. The Pew Research Center just released a report that includes startling statistics regarding the world's shifting demographics.
Islam has a high retention rate
Few people leave their natal faith or are still connected to it in some way, making islam the religion with the highest retention rate among the main world religions, according to a Pew Research survey. Compared to other religions like christianity, Judaism, and hinduism, the number of adults who were born Muslims but no longer identify as such is extremely low, according to a poll that was carried out in 13 different nations.
The study found that of the few who have abandoned islam, some have switched to christianity, another Abrahamic faith, or are no longer affiliated with any religion, identifying as agnostics or atheists.
Which faith lost most followers to Islam?
The largest percentage of people who switched from their native religion to islam are in the united states and kenya, according to the Pew Research poll. Up to 20% of Muslims in the united states and 11% of Muslims in kenya reported that they were brought up in a different religion or had no religion before converting to Islam.
The Washington-based think group pointed out that the majority of those who converted to islam were brought up as Christians, even though Muslims are a minority in both nations, with only 1% of US adults and 11% of Kenyan adults currently identifying as Muslims.
Did religious conversion result in major demographic changes?
Less than 3% of adults in these 13 countries converted to islam, according to the poll, which is a definite sign that the religious demography of these areas was not in danger from religious conversion.
There is no discernible difference in the number of persons who converted to islam from another faith and those who were born into a Muslim family in Indonesia, where the percentage of adults who were reared as Muslims and those who identify as such is exactly the same at 93%.
According to the data, less than 1 percent of Indonesian adults surveyed claimed to have converted to or left Islam.
How many people left Hinduism?
The united states (18%) and sri lanka (11%), out of the four countries polled, had the largest percentages of individuals who were raised as Hindus but no longer identify as such. While 11% of Americans who were up in a Hindu home are now religiously unaffiliated and identify as atheists or agnostics, the majority of Sri Lankans who abandoned hinduism now identify as Christians.
