Reflecting the rapid spread of Islam across the world, a new study found that the number of Muslims is expected to surpass that of Christians by 1% after 2070.

According to the study, Muslims will nearly equal Christians at mid-century, with a 30% increase in the followers of the peaceful faith.

Both Islam and Christianity, the world’ largest religious groups, will make more than 69% of the global population in 2100, rising from 61% in 2050 and 55% in 2010, according to the study.

The study also showed that Islam followers are rising globally, while unaffiliated populations are shrinking.
