2010-2055
Note: Data on life expectancy differences by religion within countries are not available. These results assume that within each country, all major religious groups have the
same life expectancy at birth. Global differences between religious groups result from differences in the geographic distribution of the groups. Differences in life expectancy 17
between periods are calculated based on unrounded values. Source: Calculations based on United Nations life tables, World Population Prospects: The 2010 Revision.
Christian Migration, 2010-2015
Net movement, by regions. This chart reads across. For example, an estimated 2.34 million
