The Vatican announced that for the first time Muslims outnumber Christians . It was also said that Muslims make up around 19.0% of the worlds population while Christians average around 17.0% . So how did this happen ? I could blame the church for they do bare some of the responsibility . Their almost reluctant attitude in dealing with pedophilia in the church as one prominent example . I feel that the fault lays mainly with Christians themselves for they are the ones who represent the church . Its true that bishops , pastors , and ministers are responsible for "spreading the word" , but as i said before it's Christians who represent the church in word , and action . I wont speak for all , but I've known Christians who do nothing more than pay lip service to Christs teachings and wear their faith on their sleeve . On the other hand I've met several Muslims who don't seem to exhibit this tendency . Bottom line for those Christians who find these current numbers alarming , if you want higher membership in the church then provide a better example for people to follow .
