According to calculations by Christian Research, a think-tank, practicing Muslims will outnumber worshipping Christians in Great Britain within 30 years. There will be about 1.96 million active Muslims in the UK, compared with 1.63 million church-going Christians.

The Daily Telegraph of London reports that, “the figures are published in the latest in a series of reports entitled ‘Religious Trends.’ The think-tank has warned that 4,000 churches could close by 2020 if congregations continue to shrink at current rates.”

Reportedly, regular Sunday, weekly and monthly attendance from the Church of England each fell by one percent in 2006. Hence, fewer than a million British Christians attend church every Sunday.

Currently, there are only 1.6 million Muslims living in Britain - compared to 41 million Christians, but experts say Muslims are more likely to practice their religion. Only 6.3 percent of Christians in Britain attend church services each week.
