ANALYSIS ON GROWTH OF WORLD RELIGIONS.

 


I was doing an analysis of how world religions have moved from the year 1801 onwards and the figures clearly point to something....

In the year 1801 Christianity comprised 20% of the World population but by the year 2025 it has grown to 31% of the World population ....that represents an annual growth of 5% over the 225 years...

Islam has grown from only 9% of the world population in 1801 to a hefty 25% of the world population by the year 2025....representing a growth rate of 10% over the 225 years.....

Hinduism has grown from 11% of the world population in 1801 to 14% of the world population by the year 2025....representing a growth rate of 5% over the 225 years.....

Buddhism has gone down from 7% of the world population in the year 1801 to only 6% of the world population in 2025 ..representing a growth rate of 3% of the world population, so it has grown alright but it  could not keep pace with the world's overall population growth....

Islam is by far the fastest growing religion in the world today....and from the year 1900 to the year 2000, it has managed to increase about 4% to its population share in the world every 50 years....

12%       in.   1900

16%.      In    1950

21%.      In.   2000

25%.      In.   2025

The growth rate of Muslim population has further accelerated by growing 4% in the last 25 years alone while Christianity stagnated at 31%.....in fact Christianity went up to 36% of the world's population by 1950 but came down to 31% in the year 2000 and stagnated there even in 2025....while in the corresponding period Muslim population increased its share by 9%.....

Another pointer is that with the advancement of science, more and more people are losing faith in religion....

In the year 1801 only 310,000 people in the world reported themselves as non-religious.....this has grown astronomically to over 108 crore people comprising 13% of the world population reporting themselves as non religious in 2025.....that represents an annual growth rate of 1548% over the last 225 years.....however the share of world population of this group came down from 15% in the year 2000 to 13% now.....

Which are the most irreligious countries in the world? Following is a list of the top 22 countries along with percentage of non believers....as per Pew research....

 

1. Czech Republic. 76%

2. North Korea.       71%

3. Estonia.                60%

4. Japan                    57%

5. China.                  52%

6. South Korea.       46%

7. Latvia.                 44%

8. Netherlands.        42%

9. Uruguay.              41%

10. Newzealand.      37%

11. Mongolia.          36%

12. Vietnam.            30%

13. Belarus.              29%

14. Sweden.              27%

15. Luxembourg.      27%

16. Germany.            25%

17. Australia.            24%

18. Canada.              24%

19.  Cuba                  23% 

20. UK.                     21%

21. Hungary.            19%

22. Finland.              18%

 

As can be seen from the above that either they are from Communist and erstwhile communist countries or else the highly developed countries except for Urugway....the US has 16% non-believers.....and most surprisingly Russia too has the same number of non-believers.
