New Delhi: The trend of abandoning religion has increased in America and Europe, while Hindus and Muslims are most connected to their religions.
However, despite this, a significant number of people are leaving Islam in one country.
Conversion to another religion has been a major political controversy in India, but the reality is that countries in America and Europe are more advanced in terms of people adopting a different religion or being non-religious. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in 36 countries worldwide, half of the population in a country like South Korea has abandoned their religion.
The report by the Pew Research Center states that only 1% of Muslims in India have converted to another religion. More Muslims have left Islam in Turkey than in India. In Turkey, 4% of those born into Islam no longer consider themselves Muslims, and among them, 1% have adopted another religion. In Singapore, this number is 3%, who are no longer Muslim.

The highest number of Muslims in America have left Islam. If 100 people were born into Islam here, only 77 of them still practice it now. This means that 23% have left Islam. Not only Muslims, but also the highest number of Hindus living in America have left their religion.
Today, 18% of people in America were born into Hinduism but do not practice that religion anymore. Among those who have left Hinduism in Sri Lanka, most have now become Christians. This figure is 11 percent, but in America, most people who have left Hinduism no longer follow any religion, while the rest have converted to Christianity.
A major finding of the Pew Research Center survey is that, according to 2022 data, if there were 31.6% Christians, 25.8% Muslims, and 15.1% Hindus in the world, the number of people who were not affiliated with any religion had increased to 14.4%.
