Religion & community impact
How migration reshapes communities: religious make-up
One way migration changes a city is in the religious make-up of its population. This page tracks the recorded share of people by faith — Christian, Muslim, Jewish and the unaffiliated — and how those shares have moved over time. Across many high-immigration countries the Christian share has fallen while other faiths and the non-religious have grown; here we show the recorded national shares, by country and by year, and let you read the trend. Every figure is a stored value from a named source; nothing is estimated. For the recorded number of churches, mosques and synagogues, see the Places of worship page.
Demographic shift
How the religious make-up of the population has changed
We trace the religious make-up of each country's population over time. In many countries the recorded Christian share has fallen a long way — in some places from around 90% to roughly 20% — while other faiths and the non-religious have grown. The figures below are stored national shares by year; each line is a recorded value, nothing is estimated.
The religious make-up over time for the World, US & Canada (combined), Africa (whole continent) and Europe (all European countries, including the UK). Each line is a population-weighted average of the stored national shares for the countries in that region; nothing is estimated. Use the tabs to switch region.
