WASHINGTON, April 2 (UPI) -- The number of Muslims in the world will roughly equal the number of Christians by 2050, a study released Thursday indicates.
The project by the Washington-based Pew Research Center, "The Future of the World's Religions," called Islam the world's fastest growing faith and predicted all religions, except Christianity, will have an increase in their percentages; Christians account for 31.4 percent of the world's population, as of 2010, and that figure is expected to remain the same.
