Hinduism is world's fastest-growing religion

According to a report published by Pew Research Center, 60% of the world's Hindus lived in South Asia in 2050. By 2060, 63% of the world's Hindus lived in South Asia. By 2070 to 2080 that number remained the same. By 2090 to 2100, 66% of the world's Hindus lived in South Asia. Most of this growth is fueled by high Hindu fertility in countries like Nepal, India, and Pakistan.<br><br>By the mid-21st century there will be more Hindus in the world than there are Muslims.<br><br>The reason why is that Hindus have a massive fertility advantage over Muslims. Muslim women in India have a fertility rate of 2.6 children per woman, while Hindu women in India have a fertility rate of 2.36 children per woman. The huge difference between their fertility rates arises because Hindu women in South Asia have an average of 2.36 children per woman, while Muslim women in South Asia have an average of 2.84 children per woman.<br><br>However the difference is that Hindu women in South Asia are younger than Muslim women in South Asia. The median age of Hindu women in South Asia is 26 years old, while the median age of Muslim women in South Asia is 21 years old. Because there is a decade difference between the age of Hindu and Muslim women in South Asia, this means that Hindu women will continue having more children than Muslim women in the future.<br><br>For example, a 21 year old woman can have 1 child per year for the next 40 years. A 31 year old woman can have 1 child per year for only the next 30 years. If a woman is 10 years older than the other, this is a huge difference. This means that a 21 year old woman is expected to have 40 children, while a 31 year old woman is only expected to have 30 children. This is a difference of 10 children.<br><br>Because their fertility is higher, and because Hindu women are younger and can reproduce for more years, this means that Hinduism is the fastest growing religion in the world.<br><br>The population of Hindus in South Asia grows at a rate of 1.2% per year. The global population of Hindus grows at a rate of 1.1% per year. The global population of Hindus increased from 1.2 billion in 2020 to 1.43 billion in 2050. This means that Hindu population grows at a rate of 1.1% per year globally.<br><br>The population of Muslims in South Asia grows at a rate of 1.1% per year. The global population of Muslims grows at a rate of 0.8% per year. The global population of Muslims increased from 2 billion in 2020 to 2.33 billion in 2050. This means that Muslim population grows at a rate of 0.8% per year globally.<br><br>Hindu population grows at a rate of 1.1% globally. Muslims grow at a rate of 0.8% globally. Because the average Hindu woman is 10 years younger than the average Muslim woman, this means that the number of Hindus in the world will eventually surpass the number of Muslims.<br><br>By 2060, there will be 1.55 billion Hindus in the world. By 2070 there will be 1.68 billion Hindus in the world. By 2080 there will be 1.83 billion Hindus in the world. By 2090 there will be 2 billion Hindus in the world. By 2100 there will be 2.17 billion Hindus in the world.<br><br>By 2060, there will be 2.69 billion Muslims in the world. By 2070 there will be 2.86 billion Muslims in the world. By 2080 there will be 3.04 billion Muslims in the world. By 2090 there will be 3.23 billion Muslims in the world. By 2100 there will be 3.43 billion Muslims in the world.<br><br>By 2050, only 15% of the world's Muslims lived in South Asia. By 2060, only 13% of the world's Muslims lived in South Asia. By 2070 only 11% of the world's Muslims lived in South Asia. By 2080 only 10% of the world's Muslims lived in South Asia. By 2090 only 9% of the world's Muslims lived in South Asia. By 2100 only 8% of the world's Muslims lived in South Asia.<br><br>Because a smaller proportion of the world's Muslims live in South Asia, and because Muslims outside of South Asia have low fertility, this means that the growth of the world's Muslim population will slow down. Muslims outside of South Asia have a fertility rate of 2.3 children per woman. Muslims inside South Asia have a fertility rate of 2.8 children per woman. Because a smaller proportion of Muslims live in South Asia, this means that the fertility of the world's Muslim population will decline.<br><br>The fertility rate of the world's Muslim population will decline from 2.3 children per woman in 2020 to 2.1 children per woman in 2050. By 2060 it will decline to 2.0 children per woman. By 2080 it will decline to 1.9 children per woman. Because of this decline in fertility, the world's Muslim population will stop growing after 2100.<br><br>One the other hand, 60% of the world's Hindus lived in South Asia in 2050. By 2060, 63% of the world's Hindus lived in South Asia. By 2070 to 2080 that number remained the same. By 2090 to 2100, 66% of the world's Hindus lived in South Asia. Because there is a higher proportion of Hindus living in South Asia, this means that the growth of the world's Hindu population will not slow down.<br><br>The fertility rate of the world's Hindu population will remain the same. It will remain 2.4 children per woman until 2100. Hindus outside of South Asia have a fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman. Hindus inside South Asia have a fertility rate of 2.6 children per woman. Because a higher proportion of Hindus live in South Asia, this means that the fertility of the world's Hindu population will remain the same.<br><br>Because Hindus have a fertility advantage over Muslims, and because Hindu women are younger than Muslim women, this means that the Hindu population will grow faster than the Muslim population.<br><br>Hindus grow at a rate of 1.1% per year globally, while Muslims grow at a rate of 0.8% globally. Because the Hindu population is growing faster than the Muslim population, this means that Hindus will make up 15% of the world's population by 2050. Hindus will make up 15% of the world's population by 2060. Hindus will make up 16% of the world's population by 2070. Hindus will make up 17% of the world's population by 2080. Hindus will make up 18% of the world's population by 2090. Hindus will make up 19% of the world's population by 2100.<br><br>Muslims will make up 31% of the world's population by 2050. Muslims will make up 30% of the world's population by 2060. Muslims will make up 31% of the world's population by 2070. Muslims will make up 31% of the world's population by 2080. Muslims will make up 31% of the world's population by 2090. Muslims will make up 31% of the world's population by 2100.<br><br>Because Hindus have a fertility advantage over Muslims, and because Hindus have a younger population than Muslims, and because Hindus live mainly in South Asia, this means that Hindus will eventually make up a larger proportion of the world's population than Muslims. Hindus will surpass Muslims globally by 2100.<br><br>By 2050, the world's Hindu population will number 1.43 billion. By 2060 it will number 1.55 billion. By 2070 it will number 1.68 billion. By 2080 it will number 1.83 billion. By 2090 it will number 2 billion. By 2100 it will number 2.17 billion.<br><br>By 2050, the world's Muslim population will number 2.33 billion. By 2060 it will number 2.69 billion. By 2070 it will number 2.86 billion. By 2080 it will number 3.04 billion. By 2090 it will number 3.23 billion. By 2100 it will number 3.43 billion.<br><br>By 2050, there will be 1.9 billion Hindus in South Asia. By 2060 there will be 2.0 billion Hindus in South Asia. By 2070 to 2080 there will be 2.1 billion Hindus in South Asia. By 2090 there will be 2.2 billion Hindus in South Asia. By 2100 there will be 2.3 billion Hindus in South Asia.<br><br>By 2050, there will be 670 million Muslims in South Asia. By 2060 there will be 720 million Muslims in South Asia. By 2070 there will be 750 million Muslims in South Asia. By 2080 there will be 780 million Muslims in South Asia. By 2090 there will be 810 million Muslims in South Asia. By 2100 there will be 840 million Muslims in South Asia.<br><br>Because there is a huge gap between the number of Hindus and Muslims in South Asia, this means that the
