Responding to: @vatsal7640 The absolute number of Hindus worldwide is growing, not declining.

• According to the Pew Research Center Global Religious Dynamics study, the global Hindu population grew by 126 million people between 2010 and 2020, reaching 1.2 billion.
• As a percentage of the total human population, Hinduism has held completely steady at 14.9%.
• Projections indicate the global Hindu population will reach 1.4 billion by 2050.

Remaining Hindu

The Hindu retention rate is high in all the places analyzed, but there is some variation.
Nearly all people who were raised Hindu in India and Bangladesh still identify as Hindu today.
In Sri Lanka, roughly nine-in-ten people who were brought up as Hindus have retained that identity, as have about eight-in-ten in the U.S.

Leaving Hinduism

Of the countries surveyed, the highest shares of people raised Hindu who no longer identify as Hindu are in the U.S. (18%) and Sri Lanka (11%).
In Sri Lanka, most who have left Hinduism now identify as Christians. In the U.S., 11% of people who were raised Hindu are now religiously unaffiliated (i.e., they identify religiously as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular”) and 6% are Christians.

Entering Hinduism

Most people who currently identify as Hindu say they were raised as Hindus, resulting in low “accession” (or entrance) rates into Hinduism across the four countries analyzed.
The U.S. has the highest accession rate, with 8% of Hindu American adults saying they were raised outside of Hinduism.

For instance, in India, the country with the world’s largest Hindu population, roughly equal shares of Indians say they were raised Hindu (84%) and currently identify as Hindu (83%). Only 1% of all Indian adults have left Hinduism, and a similarly small share have become Hindus after having been raised in another religion or with no affiliation.21

In the U.S., just 1% of adults were raised Hindu, and the percentage of all U.S. adults who have left Hinduism rounds to zero – as does the percentage who have switched into Hinduism.

Hindus grew at about the same rate as the world’s overall population.
The number of Hindus rose by 126 million, reaching 1.2 billion.
As a proportion of the global population, Hindus held steady at 14.9%.

Christianity is dying in the west

United Kingdom: Below the 50% Mark

According to the milestone ONS UK Census data, for the first time since records began, less than half of the population in England and Wales identified as Christian.

• 2011 Census: 59.3% Christian
• 2021 Census: 46.2% Christian
• Where did they go? The drop almost perfectly mirrors the rise of people ticking "No religion" (the "Nones"), which surged from 25.2% to 37.2% over that same decade. Other minority religions, like Islam (6.5%) and Hinduism (1.7%), grew slightly, but the dominant shift was toward secularism.

United States: The 64% vs. 62% Shift

Data from the Pew Research Center Religious Landscape Study shows that the Christian percentage of the US adult population dropped heavily from 78% in 2007 to roughly 64% around 2020, and currently sits at 62%
