Population of CHRISTIANITY in the World | 1900 - 2100 🛐 📊

Watch the population and demographic shifts of Christianity over time, from 1900 to 2100. This data visualization breaks down the Christian population as a percent of its demographic population: Europe, Africa, North America, Latin America, Asia, and Oceania. Note that the percentage total for each year will always sum to 100%.

Christianity has shifted to the global South. In 1900, 68% of the world's Christians live in Europe. By 2100, 51% will be in Africa.

Christian population growth is the population growth of the global Christian community. According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were more than 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, more than three times as many as the 600 million recorded in 1910. However, this rate of growth is slower than the overall population growth over the same time period.

Christianity has been estimated to be growing rapidly in South America, Africa, and Asia. In Africa, for instance, in 1900, there were only 8.7 million adherents of Christianity; now there are 390 million, and it is expected that by 2025 there will be 600 million Christians in Africa. The number of Catholics in Africa has increased from one million in 1902 to 329,882,000. From 2015 to 2016 alone, Africa saw an increase of 49,767,000 Catholics, a larger increase than any other continent. There are now 1.5 million churches whose congregations account for 46 million people.
