US: Muslims to become second-largest religious group
By 2050 the number of Muslims is projected to reach 8.1 million, or 2.1 percent, of the total US population.
Muslims are expected to become the second-largest religious group in the United States after Christians by 2040, according to a new report.
There were 3.45 millions Muslims living in the US in 2017 representing about 1.1 percent of the total population, a study by Pew Research Center found.
At present, the number of Jewish people outnumber Muslims as the second-largest religious group but that is expected to change by 2040 because “the US Muslim population will grow much faster than the country’s Jewish population”, the report said.
