These individuals belong to various religions and communities, each with different beliefs and deities. The religion with the largest population is considered the world’s largest, and currently, Christianity holds this position, followed by Islam and Hinduism. Amid this rapid population growth, several countries, including India, have implemented laws and regulations. Notably, in recent years, India’s rising population has become a topic of national debate.
According to a report by Pew Research, the fastest-growing religion in the world is Islam which is growing faster than any other religion. The report suggests that by 2050, the population of most major religions is expected to increase. Christianity will remain the largest religious group by 2050, but Islam is projected to surpass it and become the world’s dominant religion by 2070.
