Practising Muslims 'will outnumber Christians by 2035'

— filed under: , ,

By 2035, there will be about 1.96 million active Muslims in Britain, compared with 1.63 million church-going Christians, according to calculations by Christian Research, a think- tank.

The London Telegraph reports The think-tank has warned that 4,000 churches could close by 2020 if congregations continue to shrink at current rates.

The London Times reports The fall - from the four million people who attend church at least once a month today - means that the Church of England, Catholicism and other denominations will become financially unviable. Only in the large, evangelical churches of the Baptist and independent denominations is there resistance to the trend, but many of these churches also show some decline.

There have been objections to the report.
