Christianity will remain the world’s largest religion in 2050 but only just, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center.
The US think tank forecasts that Islam will grow rapidly over the next 35 years, taking the number of Muslims to 2.8 billion by the century's mid-point compared to 2.9 billion Christians. By then, the UK will no longer have a majority identifying as Christian and 10% of Europe's population could be Muslim, the study claims.
