Right-wing website are screaming this as though it’s a bad thing.

At the moment, Pew believes that there’s approximately 3.3 million Muslims living in the United States. Given the total U.S. population, this means that Muslims currently comprise 1 percent. But by 2050, Pew thinks that Muslims may surge to 8.1 million.

Part of the reason for that surge is due to Muslim immigration, Pew noted, since about 10 percent of all legal immigrants are Muslim. Another is because Muslim families tend to have far more children than the average, which  is the case in Europe, as well.

Even before that, however, Islam itself is projected to become the second largest religion in the U.S. by 2040, which is a far greater increase than that expected among Jews and Hindus.

    I don’t know why everyone is worried about this …look at every religion that ever expanded…and the churches eventually go empty as the succeeding generations loose their religion….I expect many mosques will stand practically empty in some areas…look at the catholic church….

    Only 3.3 million Muslims in the US?

    That’s only 1%! Most Muslim countries have more Christians.

    It doesn’t matter to me…
    One false religious belief is as good as another..
    Pick one and go with it..
    Just don’t try to shove on me.

    Atheists and Agnostics make up ~9% to 12%, but then those are not religions.
    christians have dropped to 70%, or a bit less.
