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~

Elon Musk Steps Down From DOGE Role But Vows To ‘Advise’ Trump, Eyes Trillion-Dollar Reform Legacy

Elon Musk has officially stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) but vowed to continue advising U.S. President Donald Trump. Musk, wearing a “Dogefather” T-shirt, promised the project will thrive beyond his tenure and reduce a trillion dollars in government waste. He will now refocus on Tesla, SpaceX, and X but remains Trump’s “friend and adviser.” Trump praised Musk’s historic reform work and said he’s “really not leaving.” Despite scaling back political donations, Musk hinted DOGE is just beginning—calling it “a way of life, like Buddhism.” #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #DOGE #GovernmentReform #WhiteHouse #Tesla #SpaceX #X #TrillionDollarPlan #WasteReduction #MuskTrump #OvalOffice #PoliticalNews #USPolitics #MuskResigns #DOGEFuture #TheDogefather #ElonStepsDown #FederalEfficiency #GovernmentNews

BREAKING: Thailand PM Shinawatra AXED over LEAKED Phone Call SCANDAL with Cambodian Presiden

Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has been suspended by the Constitutional Court after a leaked call with Cambodian President Hun Sen sparked a national uproar. Accused of breaching ministerial ethics during a deadly border clash, the PM now faces intense scrutiny from conservative lawmakers and military-backed factions. The scandal has triggered mass protests in Bangkok and left the Thai government in limbo. Is this the end for the Shinawatra legacy—or a political witch hunt in disguise? #Thailand #Shinawatra #BreakingNews #PoliticalScandal #ThaiPolitics #Cambodia #LeakedCall #PMSuspended #ThaiCourt #NationalSecurity #BorderClash #MinisterialEthics #Protests #Bangkok #EthicsProbe #ForeignPolicy #ThaiGovernment #HunSen #ThailandNews #AsiaPolitics #ShinawatraSuspended #ThaiCrisis #MilitaryPolitics #VictoryMonument #ConstitutionalCourt #ThailandPM #PoliticalDrama #ThailandSuspension #CambodiaTensions ~ED.103~GR.122~HT.96~

Thai PM Faces Mass Protests | Leaked Call With Cambodia’s Hun Sen Fuels Political Storm | Bangkok [Video]

Thai PM Faces Mass Protests | Leaked Call With Cambodia’s Hun Sen Fuels Political Storm | Bangkok

Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is under fire as thousands take to the streets of Bangkok demanding her resignation. The protests erupted after a leaked call with Cambodia’s Senate President Hun Sen, in which Paetongtarn dismissed a Thai army commander’s criticism of Cambodia amid a deadly border clash. The scandal has shattered her fragile coalition, with the Bhumjaithai Party pulling support and anti-corruption agencies launching probes. The opposition, including monarchist-aligned Yellow Shirts, is rallying in full force, evoking memories of past coups against the Shinawatra family. Cambodia's Hun Sen, now Senate President, accused Thailand of invading Cambodian territory and warned of escalating tensions. Paetongtarn denies wrongdoing, but with possible suspension by the Constitutional Court looming, her grip on power is rapidly weakening. Protesters claim she compromised national dignity; the court's decision next week could change Thailand's political course. #ThailandProtests #PaetongtarnResign #ThaiPMScandal #HunSenPhoneCall #BangkokProtests #ThailandPolitics #CambodiaBorderClash #YellowShirtsReturn #PheuThaiCollapse #ConstitutionalCourt #ThaiMilitaryClash #ThailandCambodiaTensions #CambodiaHunSen #VictoryMonumentRally #ThaiOpposition #ThaiPMControversy #BorderDispute #PheuThaiTrouble #ThailandCrisis #SoutheastAsiaNews Also Read Bangkok Woman Gives Birth On Street As Chaos Triggered By Massive Earthquake Forces Evacuation | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/bangkok-woman-gives-birth-on-street-as-chaos-triggered-by-massive-earthquake-forces-evacuation-wat-4108759.html?ref=DMDesc Bangkok Declared 'Disaster Area' As Strong Earthquake In Neighbouring Myanmar Shakes Thai Capital :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/thai-pm-paetongtarn-shinawatra-declares-state-of-emergency-in-bangkok-as-strong-earthquake-shakes-4107631.html?ref=DMDesc Two Powerful Earthquakes Hit Myanmar; Strong Tremors Felt in Bangkok :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/two-powerful-earthquakes-hit-myanmar-strong-tremors-felt-in-bangkok-4107515.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.125~
