According to the [[Pew Research Center]], Islam is set to equal Christianity worldwide in number of adherents by the year 2050. Islam is set to grow faster than any other major world religion, reaching a total number of 2.76&nbsp;billion (an increase of 73%). Causes of this trend involve high [[Birth rate|fertility rates]] as a factor, with [[Muslims]] having a rate of 3.1 compared to the world average of 2.5, and the minimum replacement level for a population at 2.1. Another factor is also due to fact that Islam has the highest number of adherents under the age of 15 (34% of the total religion) of any major religion, compared with Christianity's 27%. 60% of Muslims are between the ages of 16 and 59, while only 7% are aged 60+ (the smallest percentage of any major religion). Countries such as [[Nigeria]] and the [[Republic of Macedonia]] are expected to have Muslim majorities by 2050. In India, the Muslim population will be larger than any other country. Europe's non-Muslim population is set to decline as opposed to their Muslim population which is set to grow to 10% of Europe's total.<ref name=pew2015/> Growth rates of [[Islam in Europe]] was due primarily to immigration and higher birth rates of Muslims in 2005.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4385768.stm |title=site |publisher=BBC News |date=2005-12-23 |accessdate=2010-04-01}}</ref>
