For the truth of my statements, I appeal to the testimony of the God himself. See for example: Elections Appeal 1/65 Yardor v. The Chairman of the Election Committee, 19(3) P.D. The unaffiliated (76%), followed by white mainline Protestants (63%), are more likely to see the growing world population as leading to a major problem. There are modest differences in views about fracking by religious service attendance; 53% of those who attend services less regularly oppose the increased use of fracking, compared with 45% among those who attend services at least weekly. You probably gave them permission to do that when you accepted the terms and conditions of the service. To contribute to this ongoing conversation, Pew Research Center has amassed extensive data on gender and religion in six different faith groups (Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and the religiously unaffiliated) across scores of countries, including many with non-Christian majorities. The difference between women and men in self-reported rates of daily prayer is the biggest average gender gap found in this study. The biggest exceptions to the overall pattern of women exceeding men in religious commitment can be found on this measure. Another measure of religious commitment concerns prayer, which can take place privately as well as publicly.

Because of religious norms, Muslim men attend services at a mosque much more often than Muslim women do. Among Christians in many countries, women report higher rates of weekly church attendance than men. Christians had the most births and deaths of any religious group in recent years, according to our demographic models. Christians remained the largest religious group in the world in 2015, making up nearly a third (31%) of Earth’s 7.3 billion people, according to a new Pew Research Center demographic analysis. But among Christians in Europe the reverse is true: Deaths outnumbered births by nearly 6 million during this brief period. Although the maps were very inaccurate by today’s standards, they were a major source of the European view of the world during that period. In columns 1 and 2 the dependent variable is the share of Muslims in 1900 across countries from McCleary and Barro (2005), while in columns 3 and 4 the dependent variable is the share of Muslims across ethnic groups from the World Religion Database (WRD).

A majority of the public supports one newer form of energy development: Fully 68% of adults favor the increased use of genetically engineered plants to create a liquid fuel replacement for gasoline, while 26% oppose it. A 57% majority of the unaffiliated oppose building more nuclear power plants, while 39% are in favor. Some religious groups’ adherents are predominantly young, with their prime childbearing years still ahead of them, while members of other groups are older and largely past their childbearing years. Those that are near industrialized urban centers include large numbers of commuters and industrial workers. But among Muslims and Orthodox Jews, men are more likely than women to say they regularly attend services at a mosque or synagogue.6 Higher levels of weekly attendance among Muslim and Jewish men are due in large part to religious norms that prioritize men’s participation in worship services. For instance, the religious aspect in “The Deceivers” is primarily embodied by the Thuggee cult’s worship of the goddess Kali, a deity in Hinduism. Another useful indicator of religious commitment is how often women and men say they attend religious worship services. Measuring levels of religious commitment in widely differing societies and faiths is a tricky endeavor.

How and why men and women differ in religious commitment has been a topic of scholarly debate for decades. If Twitter can block Trump, why not Hindu gods’ abuser? This is why some philosophers of science propose that the sciences are methodologically atheistic. Hindu and Jewish fertility (2.3 each) are both just below the global average of 2.4 children per woman. Christians have the second highest fertility rate, at 2.6 children per woman. Between 2010 and 2015, an estimated 223 million babies were born to Christian mothers and roughly 107 million Christians died – a natural increase of 116 million. The region with the greatest proportion of Eastern Orthodox Christians was the Bruxelles-Capital Region, in which they formed 8.3% of the population. In general, population is scantiest in mountain regions, some highlands, arid parts of Spain, and the Arctic regions of Russia. Less-frequent churchgoers are more inclined to say global population growth will be a major problem; 63% say this, while 35% say the world will find a way to stretch its natural resources.
