New Harvard Research Says U.S. Christianity Is Not Shrinking, But Growing Stronger
URLﾘﾝｸ(thefederalist.com)
New research published late last year by scholars at Harvard University and Indiana University
Bloomington is just the latest to reveal the myth. This research questioned the “secularization thesis,”
which holds that the United States is following most advanced industrial nations in the death of their
once vibrant faith culture. Churches becoming mere landmarks, dance halls, boutique hotels, museums, and all that.
Not only did their examination find no support for this secularization in terms of actual practice and belief,
the researchers proclaim that religion continues to enjoy “persistent and exceptional intensity” in America.
These researchers hold our nation “remains an exceptional outlier and potential counter example to the
secularization thesis.”

Christian population growth
URLﾘﾝｸ(en.wikipedia.org)
Christian population growth is the population growth of the global Christian community.
According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.19 billion Christians around
the world in 2010, more than three times as much from the 600 million recorded in 1910,
however this rate of growth is slower than the overall population growth over the same time
period.[1] According to a 2015 Pew Research Center study, by 2050, the Christian population
is expected to be 3.0 billion.[2]
From 1960 to 2000, the global growth of the number of reported Evangelical Protestants grew
three times the world's population rate, and twice that of Islam.[3]
