Islam is growing at a very high rate, and this is partial because of the high birth rate. It has been said that Islam is quickly catching up with Christianity, as there is an expectation that there will be more Islam’s in the United States than Christians.

Christianity has always been undefeated as being the dominant religion in America. However, according to recent research, Muslims will grow more than twice as fast as the overall world population between 2015 to 2060, and it is said that Islam will exceed Christianity during this time.

Part of the explanation for this surge is the fact that high fertility rates have enhanced the Muslim population growth. More than a third of Muslims will soon be at a point in their lives when they begin having children, and the growing rate demonstrates that this has already started. Within the next two decades the Muslim population will surpass Christians.

According to researchers, the fastest-growing religion in the United States is Islam. Christianity was the most popular religion in the United States, but its popularity has declined over the years.

There are over 7 million Muslims that were born. The growth of Islam in the United States has caused the use of hijab (head covering by omen) and also breaks at school and workplace during prayer time.

Another reason that Islam is the fastest going religion in the United States is that their religion is passed on to that generation and continues to grow from there and also has a higher fertility rate.

A Muslim man is allowed to marry up to 4 or more wives as long as he can take the responsibility and love them equally. This also helps to increase the number of Muslims.

The correct answer to this question is Islam. Around the world, Islam is growing at a rapid pace, but it is especially doing so in the United States. Presently, Christianity is the most popular religion in the country, but it has declined in its popularity over time.

Two sectors of Christianity that are losing members include Protestants and Catholics, who have dealt with scandals over the years. This has led many to seek a different religion. Another reason why Islam is growing is that Muslims have a higher fertility rate. This means that the religion will be passed on to those generations and continue to grow from there.

Although Islam is not the largest religion in the United States of America, it is one of the fastest-growing religions in the country. While Christianity is the major religion being practiced in the United States, there are reports that show how religion is experiencing a sharp decline in recent times.

The two major denominations of Christianity that are losing their members are Catholic and the protestant church. Many people are showing their displeasure about some issues and scandals that are rocking the religion in the US. Also, there are cases of people with different religious backgrounds getting married, and this might result in the emergence of a generation that does not belong to any religious group.

The population of Muslims in the United is estimated to be about 8 million. And the freedom which the followers of the religion have started enjoying in the United States could be the reason why it is being regarded as the fastest-growing religion in the US.
