CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS? Islam BOOMS Globally as Millions in the West ABANDON Church And Faith [Video]

CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS? Islam BOOMS Globally as Millions in the West ABANDON Church And Faith

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century. #GlobalFaith #Christianity #Islam #ReligionTrends #ReligiousGrowth #FaithShift #ReligionReport #WorldDemographics #ChristianDecline #IslamRise #ReligiousChange #Unaffiliated #SecularTrends #SubSaharanAfrica #FertilityRates #YouthPopulation #ReligiousSwitching #WesternSecularism #ReligionStats #GlobalPopulation #ReligionIn2020 #Buddhism #Hinduism #Judaism #FaithStats #MidCenturyProjections #ReligionMatters #WorldReligionReport #ReligiousFuture #GlobalReligion #ReligiousLandscape Also Read Authorities Launch Probe into Allegations of Sikh Conversions to Christianity in Pilibhit :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/probe-into-allegations-of-sikh-conversions-in-pilibhit-011-4156455.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~

‘SHE IS WRONG’ | Trump BLASTS Intel Chief Tulsi Gabbard over Testimony on Iran’s Nuclear Capability

President Trump has publicly rebuked Intelligence Chief Tulsi Gabbard’s claim that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon, declaring that Tehran could assemble a bomb within weeks. Trump, citing fresh intelligence, emphasized Iran’s advanced nuclear capability and warned that a final decision on bombing Iran’s Fordow site could come within two weeks. Gabbard later clarified her March testimony, admitting Iran now has the materials to quickly build a weapon. The White House says diplomacy is possible, but time is rapidly running out. #Trump #TulsiGabbard #IranNuclearCrisis #FordowStrike #NuclearWeapons #USPolitics #MiddleEastTensions #TrumpVsTulsi #IranNukes #NationalSecurity #WhiteHouse #DiplomacyOrWar #NuclearShowdown #BreakingNews #TrumpAdministration #IranWatch #IntelligenceBriefing #USIsraelAlliance #MiddleEastCrisis #IranStrikeDecision #GabbardClarifies #FordowFacility #IntelBattle #TrumpSpeaks #IranianThreat #DeadlineDiplomacy #Geopolitics #BidenVsIran #JDVance #USForeignPolicy #NuclearCountdown Also Read Pakistan Backs US President Trump For Nobel Peace Prize! :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-backs-us-president-trump-for-noble-peace-prize-7778855.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Says Gabbard Was 'Wrong' About Iran; Israeli Strikes Could Be 'Very Hard To Stop' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-gabbard-was-wrong-about-iran-israeli-strikes-could-be-very-hard-to-stop-7778805.html?ref=DMDesc Declined Trump’s Invite To US For Coming To Land Of Lord Jagannath: PM Modi In Odisha :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/declined-trump-s-invite-to-us-for-coming-to-land-of-lord-jagannath-pm-modi-in-odisha-7778449.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

REVEALED! IDF’s Next Targets across Iranian landscape post attack on Arak & Bushehr Nuclear Reactors

Israel has expanded its air campaign to southern Iran, striking the Arak reactor to clear a path toward the fortified Fordow nuclear site. The IDF claims half of Iran’s missile launchers have been destroyed, with UAVs and jets executing rapid “stand-on” strikes. With radars and defenses south of Tehran neutralized, Israel is intensifying operations for full air dominance. Meanwhile, 14 cargo planes—reportedly from the U.S. and Germany—have delivered undisclosed military aid as tensions escalate following a cluster missile strike in Tel Aviv. #IsraelIranConflict #IDFStrikes #ArakReactor #FordowFacility #SouthernIran #IsraeliAirCampaign #IAFJets #TehranUnderWatch #MissileLaunchers #TelAvivAttack #IranNuclearSites #StandOnStrikes #BarakMagen #IsraeliNavy #UAVPatrols #IntelDrivenStrikes #AirDominance #MilitaryAid #USGermanySupport #CargoPlanes #WarSecrecy #ClusterMissile #NuclearShowdown #IDFIntel #MiddleEastTensions #IsraelDefenseForces #IranianThreat #FordowTarget #ArakCleared #NextWaveIncoming Also Read Trump Says Gabbard Was 'Wrong' About Iran; Israeli Strikes Could Be 'Very Hard To Stop' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-gabbard-was-wrong-about-iran-israeli-strikes-could-be-very-hard-to-stop-7778805.html?ref=DMDesc Ayatollah Khamenei's Existential Crossroads; Iran's Supreme Leader Faces Threat Like Never Before :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ayatollah-khameneis-existential-crossroads-irans-supreme-leader-faces-threat-like-never-before-7778435.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Draws Flak For Equating Son’s Postponed Wedding With War Deaths: 'Personal Cost For His Fiancée Too' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-draws-flak-for-equating-son-s-postponed-wedding-with-war-deaths-personal-cost-for-his-fi-7778281.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

BIG WIN for President Trump | Senate PASSES the ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL’ by NARROW 51-49 Majority

Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill has cleared a key Senate hurdle with a narrow 51–49 vote, advancing to final debate. The multi-trillion-dollar plan slashes taxes, boosts military and border spending, and cuts social programs like Medicaid. Trump praised the vote as a “great victory.” GOP leaders lobbied hard, with VP JD Vance and Trump personally courting key senators. Democrats vow delays with procedural tactics, as a final vote and a long “vote-a-rama” amendment marathon loom ahead. #TrumpBill #SenateVote #BigBeautifulBill #TaxCuts #MedicaidCuts #PentagonSpending #BorderFunding #JDVance #TrumpVictory #VoteARama #GOPPolitics #USCongress #SenateShowdown #TrumpAgenda #RepublicanPush #July4Deadline #SpendingBill #BudgetBattle #CapitolHill #TrumpTaxPlan #USPolitics #BreakingNews #LisaMurkowski #RandPaul #SusanCollins #JohnJohnson #MedicaidFight #SenateDrama #VoteWatch #FiscalPolicy #CongressDebate Also Read Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc Trump’s Iran Strike Claims Under Scrutiny: Intelligence Reports Raise Doubts About ‘Total Obliteration’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-iran-strike-claims-under-scrutiny-intelligence-reports-raise-doubts-about-total-obliterati-7783233.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ In CRISIS As Vance Steps In To Break Republican Senate Deadlock [Video]

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ In CRISIS As Vance Steps In To Break Republican Senate Deadlock

Donald Trump’s flagship legislative proposal, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," faces a dramatic standoff in the U.S. Senate as three Republican senators—Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and Thom Tillis—oppose it, forcing Vice President JD Vance to step in for a potential tie-breaking vote. The White House has called failure to pass the bill “the ultimate betrayal.” The bill, touted by Trump as a landmark achievement, needs a simple majority to pass, but GOP defections now threaten its future. With the Senate split and time running out before the July 4 deadline, Vance’s decisive vote could seal the fate of Trump’s legislative agenda. As Republicans wrestle with internal dissent, questions swirl over the bill’s substance, timing, and rushed delivery. Trump has publicly urged lawmakers to stop “grandstanding” and deliver results to the American people, branding the bill as “phenomenal” and necessary for the nation's future. #TrumpBigBeautifulBill #JdVanceTiebreaker #TrumpSenateVote #RonJohnson #RandPaul #ThomTillis #GOPDefection #SenateShowdown #TrumpLegislation #TrumpPromise #WhiteHouseStatement #RepublicanSenators #TrumpVanceBill #TrumpJuly4Deadline #TiebreakerVote #TrumpBillFail #TrumpBillSupport #OneBeautifulBill #PromisesMadePromisesKept #SenateRepublicans ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.125~

American Senators Fight Over Iran Strikes | Republicans Say 'Years Set Back', Dems Call Trump it LIE

A fierce clash erupted in the U.S. Senate after a classified briefing on the recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. While Republicans praised the strikes as a major setback for Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Democrats cast doubt, with Sen. Chris Murphy bluntly saying Trump’s claims of “obliteration” don’t add up. Intelligence reports suggest Iran's program may have only been delayed by months—not years. As the truth behind the strike’s impact unfolds, partisan divisions are intensifying in Washington. #IranStrikes #TrumpNews #SenateClash #USPolitics #IranNuclear #ChrisMurphy #RepublicansVsDemocrats #BreakingNews #MiddleEastCrisis #OneindiaNews #Geopolitics #TrumpAdministration #USMilitary #IranTensions Also Read Iran's Khamenei Warns Against Future US Attacks After Ceasefire Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-khamenei-warns-against-future-us-attacks-011-7784453.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Guardian Council Approves Bill To Suspend Cooperation With IAEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-guardian-council-approves-bill-to-suspend-cooperation-with-iaea-7784177.html?ref=DMDesc Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~PR.274~GR.122~

Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Collapse as Senate Balks |Medicaid Cuts, $4.2T Deficit, July 4 Deadline

U.S President Donald Trump is turning up the heat on Senate Republicans to pass his signature tax-and-spending package — dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” — before the July 4 deadline. The legislation includes sweeping tax cuts, boosts to border security, and expanded child tax credits. But it also slashes Medicaid and food stamp funding, raising fierce opposition from Democrats who call it a “Big, Ugly Betrayal.” With a $4.2 trillion projected impact on the national deficit, a blocked Medicaid tax provision, and wavering GOP senators, the bill’s future hangs in the balance. Can Trump rally the votes in time, or is this another legislative collapse in the making? #TrumpTaxBill #BigBeautifulBill #MedicaidCuts #GOP #SenateShowdown #July4Deadline #USPolitics #SNAPCuts #TrumpNews #Republicans #TaxReform #HealthcareCrisis #BidenVsTrump #CapitolHill #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.102~PR.274~
