“1.7 percent identified as Jewish” And of those, only 41% say religion is important in their lives?

That figure will change radically over the next 25 years. Orthodox Jews are having 6.5 children per family, while Reform, Conservative and secular Jews are aborting, turning gay and intermarrying.

.06%? seems like BS . I see a lot of Muslims and the majority of cab drivers seem to be Muslims.

Gallup is right in line with Pew Research (who has kept up with this for a few decades now). Pew Research shows it at 0.8% Muslim, with it being 1.7% Muslim in the year 2030 - with three growth factors, or (1) immigration, (2) births and (3) conversions.

Various European nations are at from 5% to 10% right now - with several of them demographically turning into Muslim-controlled countries within a few decades.

They’re saying 6/10ths of ONE PERCENT ... and NOT 6/100ths of ONE PERCENT. And this figure is definitely within the ballpark of Pew Research’s numbers which show it at 0.8% (i.e., 8/10ths of ONE PERCENT) ... and projections for 1.7% in the year 2030.

You asked — “Islam isn’t a cult?”

By Christian definition - ALL RELIGIONS which don’t adhere to the basic, foundational and historic doctrines of Christianity - are ALL CULT GROUPS. That’s the working definition for a CULT GROUP - per Christianity!

This particular definition is not the definition used in general society or in the newspapers - but per CHRISTIANITY!

Yeah I know what it was , typo. Still too low imo. Islam is pure evil and lies , they lie lie lie. I can bet a lot that it is much higher than .6%. Muslims lie and want to remain hidden. here it’s almost all the cab drivers, and convenience store owners, pakistanis,somalis, palestinians, morocons, endless.
