NEWS & VIEWS ON THE FAITH-BASED COMMUNITY

How many believers are therearound the world?If you think religion belongs to the

past and we live in a new age of rea-son, you need to check out the facts:84% of the world’s population identi-fies with a religious group.

Members of this demographic are generally younger andproduce more children than those who have no religious affil-iation, so the world is getting more religious, not less – al-though there are significant geographical variations.

According to 2015 figures, Christians form the biggest reli-gious group by some margin, with 2.3 billion adherents or31.2% of the total world population of 7.3 billion. Next comeMuslims (1.8 billion, or 24.1%), Hindus (1.1 billion, or 15.1%)and Buddhists (500 million, or 6.9%).

The next category is people who practise folk or traditionalreligions; there are 400m of them, or 6% of the global total.Adherents of lesser-practised religions, including Sikhism, Ba-ha’i and Jainism, add up to 58m, or well below 1%. There are14m Jews in the world, about 0.2% of the global population,concentrated in the US and Israel.

But the third biggest category is missing from the above list.In 2015, 1.2 billion people in the world, or 16%, said they haveno religious affiliation at all. This does not mean all those peo-ple are committed atheists; some – perhaps most – have astrong sense of spirituality or belief in God, gods or guidingforces, but they don’t identify with or practise an organised re-ligion.

Almost all religions have subdivisions. Christians can beRoman Catholic (the biggest group with almost 1.3 billion ad-herents), Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, Greek Orthodox, An-glican or many other sub-denominations. Muslims might beSunni (the majority), Shia, Ibadi, Ahmadiyya or Sufi. Hinduismhas four main groups: Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism andSmartism. There are two main traditions in Buddhism – Ther-avāda and Mahayana, each with subgroups. Jews can be Or-thodox (or ultra-Orthodox), Conservative, Reform or belongto smaller groups.

Geography is important in religion. Asia-Pacific is the mostpopulous region in the world, and also the most religious. It ishome to 99% of Hindus, 99% of Buddhists, and 90% of thosepractising folk or traditional religions. The region also hosts76% of the world’s religiously unaffiliated people, 700m ofwhom are Chinese.

Three-quarters of religious people live in a country wherethey form a majority of the population; the remaining quarterlive as religious minorities. For example, 97% of Hindus livein three Hindu-majority countries: India, Mauritius and Nepal,while 87 %% of Christians live in 157 Christian-majority coun-tries. Three-quarters of Muslims live in Muslim-majority coun-tries. Among the religiously unaffiliated, seven out of 10 livein countries where they are in the majority, including China,the Czech Republic and North Korea.

MILWAUKEE COMMUNITY JOURNAL

THE TOP 3 RELIGIONS IN THE WORLD(Adherent estimates in 2012)

Religion Adherents PercentageChristianity 2.4 billion 33%Islam 1.8 billion 24.1%Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist 1.2 billion 16%Hinduism 1.15 billion 15%

In contrast, most Buddhists (72%) live as a minority in theirhome countries. There are seven countries where Buddhistsform the majority of the population: Bhutan, Myanmar, Cam-bodia, Laos, Mongolia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

Which religions are growing, and where?The short answer is religion is on the wane in western Eu-

rope and North America, and it’s growing everywhere else.The median age of the global population is 28. Two religions

have a median age below that: Muslims (23) and Hindus (26).Other main religions have an older median age: Christians,30; Buddhists, 34 and Jews, 36. The religiously unaffiliatedcome in at 34.

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world – more thantwice as fast as the overall global population. Between 2015and 2060, the world’s inhabitants are expected to increase by32%, but the Muslim population is forecast to grow by 70%.

And even though Christians will also outgrow the generalpopulation over that period, with an increase of 34% forecastmainly thanks to population growth in sub-Saharan Africa,Christianity is likely to lose its top spot in the world religionleague table to Islam by the middle of this century.

Hindus are set to grow by 27%, and Jews by 15% mainlybecause of the high birth rate among the ultra-Orthodox. Thereligiously unaffiliated will see a 3% increase. But proportion-ately, these religious groupings will be smaller than now be-cause their growth is lower than the increase in the overallglobal population. And Buddhists are forecast to see a 7%drop in their numbers.

It’s mainly down to births and deaths, rather than religiousconversion. Muslim women have an average of 2.9 children,significantly above the average of all non-Muslims at 2.2.

And while Christian women have an overall birth rate of 2.6,it’s lower in Europe where Christian deaths outnumberedbirths by nearly 6 million between 2010 and 2015. In recentyears, Christians have had a disproportionately large shareof the world’s deaths (37%).

And while the religiously unaffiliated currently make up 16%of the global population, only about 10% of the world’s new-borns were born to religiously unaffiliated mothers between2010 and 2015.

But 23% of American Muslims say they are converts to thefaith, and in recent years there has been growing anecdotalevidence of Muslim refugees converting to Christianity in Eu-rope.

China has seen a huge religious revival in recent years andsome predict it will have the world’s largest Christian popula-tion by 2030. The number of Chinese Protestants has grownby an average of 10 % annually since 1979, to between 93million and 115 million, according to one estimate. There arereckoned to be another 10-12 million Catholics.

In contrast, Christianity is in decline in Western Europe. In

Ireland, traditionally a staunchly Catholic country, the proportion of peopleidentifying with Catholicism fell from 84.2% to 78.3% between the two cen-suses of 2011 and 2016, and down to 54% among people aged between 16and 29. Those with no religious affiliation increased to 9.8% – a jump of 71.8%in five years.

In Scotland, another country steeped in religious tradition, a majority of peo-ple, 59%, now identify as non-religious – with significantly more women (66%)than men (55%) turning away from organised faith. Seven in 10 people underthe age of 44 said they were non-religious; the only age group in which themajority are religiously affiliated is the over-65s.

What about theocratic states?The Islamic Republic of Iran is probably the one that springs to mind first.

Until the 1979 revolution, the country was ruled by the Shah, or monarch. Butthe leader of the new state was the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who imple-mented a political system based on Islamic beliefs and appointed the headsof the judiciary, military and media. He was succeeded in 1989 by AyatollahAli Khamenei.

There is an elected president, currently Hassan Rouhani, who is considereda moderate, reformist figure. Iran is one of only two countries in the world thatreserves seats in its legislature for religious clerics (the other is the UK).

Other Islamic theocracies are Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen.Twenty-seven countries enshrine Islam as their state religion.

The only Christian theocracy is Vatican City, the tiny but powerful centre ofRoman Catholicism, where the Pope is the supreme power and heads theexecutive, legislative and judicial branches of the Vatican government.

Thirteen countries (including nine in Europe) designate Christianity or a par-ticular Christian denomination as their state religion.

In England, the Anglican church – the Church of England – is recognisedas the official “established” church of the country with important roles relatingto state occasions. Twenty-one bishops sit in the House of Lords by right.

Israel defines itself as the “Jewish state”, with an 80% majority Jewish pop-ulation. However the government is secular.

In 2015, more than 100 countries and territories have no official or preferredreligion.

What religions are oldest and are there any new ones?The oldest religion in the world is considered to be Hinduism, which dates

back to about 7,000 BCE. Judaism is the next oldest, dating from about 2,000BCE, followed by Zoroastrianism, officially founded in Persia in the 6th centuryBCE but its roots are thought to date back to 1,500 BCE. Shinto, Buddhism,Jainism, Confucianism and Taoism bunch together around 500-700 BCE.Then along came Christianity, followed about 600 years later by Islam.

Some might argue that the newest religion is no religion, although non-be-lievers have been around as long as humans. But periodically new religiousmovements spring up, such as Kopimism, an internet religion, the Church ofthe Flying Spaghetti Monster or Pastafarianism (officially recognised by theNew Zealand government but not the Dutch), and Terasem, a transreligionthat believes death is optional and God is technological.

In 2016, the Temple of the Jedi Order, members of which follow the tenetsof the faith central to the Star Wars films, failed in its effort to be recognisedas a religious organisation under UK charity law.

In the last two censuses, Jedi has been the most popular alternative religionwith more than 390,000 people (0.7% of the population) describing them-selves as Jedi Knights on the 2001 census. By 2011, numbers had droppedsharply, but there were still 176,632 people who told the government theywere Jedi Knights.

Does religion have an impact on the world?Of course – there are huge consequences to religious belief and practice.

Firstly, countless wars and conflicts have had an overt or covert religious di-mension throughout history right up to the present day. In the past few years,we’ve seen Islamic extremists waging war in the Middle East, a power struggle

Why FAITH is becoming more and more popular(continued from page 2)



between Sunni and Shiaacross the region, the perse-cution of Rohingya Muslimsin Myanmar, the Boko Haraminsurgency in Nigeria, violentclashes between Christiansand Muslims in CentralAfrican Republic, to name afew.

Women are subjugated,LGBT people are persecuted,and “blasphemists” are tor-tured and murdered in thename of religion.

Then there’s the politicalimpact. Donald Trump wonthe 2016 presidential electionwith the overwhelming sup-

port of white evangelicalChristians.

Legislators in Argentina re-cently voted against legalis-ing abortion under pressurefrom Catholic bishops and thepope.

Hungary’s far-right primeminister, Viktor Orbán, hascited the need to protect hiscountry’s “Christian culture”to justify his anti-immigrationpolicies.

But it’s not all bad news.

There are millions of peopleof faith across the world en-gaging in social action proj-ects to help the poor andmarginalised. Look at the in-volvement of churches,mosques and synagogues infood banks and projects tosupport refugees, the sanctu-ary church movement in theUS, the extraordinary sumsraised by Islamic charities forrelief work in some of theworld’s most desperateplaces.

What happens next?More prejudice and perse-

cution. Followers of mostmajor religions report in-creasing hostility and, inmany cases, violence.

Christians have been

largely driven out of the Mid-dle East, with some calling ita new genocide.

Meanwhile antisemitismand Islamophobia are risingin Europe.

One of the biggest up-heavals on the religious land-scape in the next few years islikely to be the death (or, pos-sibly, retirement) of PopeFrancis, who is 81 and has anumber of health issues. Hisefforts to reform the Vaticanand the church have led to asignificant backlash by con-servative forces, who are or-ganising against his papacyand preparing for the momentwhen the post becomes va-cant.

Why FAITH is becoming more and more popular

Science and religionA key proponent of the incompatibility of science and re-

ligion is Richard Dawkins, the British evolutionary biolo-gist, who has ridiculed creation and intelligent designtheories.But according to Rowan Williams, the former archbishop

of Canterbury, efforts to pit science against religion are a“phoney war”. A YouGov poll carried out last year foundthat only 16% of believers accept the creation myth.Another survey of 3,000 science, medical, technical, and

engineering professionals in the UK, Germany andFrance, commissioned by the Scientific and Medical Net-work, found that 25% described themselves as atheists,and 45% as religious or spiritual.Professor Eric Priest, a mathematician and a former

president of the Royal Astronomical Society, said the sup-posed conflict between science and spirituality was out-dated, and many scientists had “a more subtle, nuancedview of the relationship, and recognise that questioning,imagination, creativity, reason, faith and community arecommon features of both science and religion”.In the US, a survey of scientists in 2009 found they were

roughly half as likely as the general public to believe inGod or a higher power. One in three scientists said theybelieved in God compared with 83% of the general popu-lation. Just under half the scientists polled said they hadno religious affiliation, compared with only 17% of thepublic.Jennifer Wiseman, a Christian astrophysicist and direc-

tor of Dialogue on Science, Ethics and Religion, a pro-gramme of the American Association for the Advancementof Science, told ABC News that science was a “wonderfultool for understanding the physical universe” but religiousbelief provides answers to bigger philosophical questionsin life. “We are physically connected to the universe and I think

we have a deeper connection as well.”

Religious literacySome public figures have warned about the dangers of

religious illiteracy especially in multi-faith societies wheremisunderstandings and ignorance can escalate into hostil-ity, abuse and violence. Myths and factual inaccuraciesabout religious beliefs and texts are common, and manysay that education about religion religious education is asimportant to understanding the world as history, geogra-phy, science and art are.According to Harvard’s Religious Literacy Project: “Un-

derstanding complex religious influences is a critical di-mension of understanding modern human affairs. In spiteof this awareness, there remains a widespread illiteracyabout religion that spans the globe. There are many con-sequences of this illiteracy, but the most urgent is that itfuels conflict and antagonisms and hinders cooperativeendeavors in all arenas of human experience.”Prof Adam Dinham, co- author author editor of Religious

Literacy in Policy and Practice, has said: “Religious liter-acy is a particular problem of the developed W west,where fuzzy secularity and a complex religious landscapecoincide. European and W western thinking has long as-sumed a post-religious world, and seeks to act as thoughit is one. But on religion, Europe is the exception, not therule. It also continues itself to be Christian, more secular,and more plural all at once.”

Why faith leaders want religion to play bigger role in global politicsBUENOS AIRES, Argentina —

World leaders today share a grow-ing list of complex problems, andyet the leaders seem to be gettingworse, not better, at working to-gether, according to RowanWilliams, the former head of theChurch of England.

"What we see is not a move-ment toward greater justice … butgreater fear, division and inequal-ity," he said during the openingday of the G20 Interfaith Forum,an international gathering of reli-gious leaders and faith-based so-cial activists from the world's 20leading economies.

Faith communities can help re-verse this trend, Williams andother religious leaders said, ad-dressing how to be more unified inthe face of issues like climatechange and the global refugee cri-sis. Ahead of the G20, or Group of20, annual meeting in Argentinalater this year, they're asking sec-ular politicians to pay more atten-tion to people of faith.

“At a time when our politics be-comes more and more dividedand polarized, when the defenseof national boundaries literally andmetaphorically becomes the onething that many political leaderscare about, our religious traditionssay we are not permitted by theholy God we serve to forget aboutany portion of the human race,”Williams said.

The G20 Interfaith Forum isaimed at bridging the gap betweenfaith groups and political leaders,speakers said. Participants hopeto help policymakers choose hopeover fear and to showcase what'spossible when people in differentreligious communities and coun-tries work together to care forthose in need.

"We all have much to learn fromeach other, whatever our religiousor ethical motivations for serving,"said Elder D. Todd Christoffersonof the Quorum of the Twelve Apos-tles of The Church of Jesus Christof Latter-day Saints.

Elder Christofferson andWilliams were among the worldfaith leaders asserting their strongcommitment to morality andhuman dignity, values that aresometimes missing from secularpolicy debates.Why religion mattersThe fifth annual G20 Interfaith

Forum features three days ofpanel discussions during whichspeakers share their on-the-ground experiences addressing is-sues like starvation and violence,as well as their suggestions forG20 political leaders. This year'sdiscussion topics include environ-mental protection, religious free-dom law, women's rights andworkplace policies.

The gathering is an opportunityto “showcase the powerful contri-butions that can be made whenpeople and organizations fromacross political, national and reli-gious boundaries work together toaddress pressing challenges,” ex-plained Brian Adams, one of theconference organizers, during hisopening remarks.

It's also a chance for faith lead-ers to refocus policy debates onpeople in need, noted Pope Fran-cis in his letter to forum partici-pants, which was readWednesday morning by anotherCatholic leader.
