Christian:
Around 2.38 billion people in the world are somehow associated with Christianity, but according to the Pew Research Center, between 2015 and 2020, about 13 million people left Christianity and moved to other religions or became atheists. 3 reasons are being given. The first is to lose faith in the church, where there are incidents of sexual abuse. Second, the community of LGBTQ which does not recognize Christianity and the third is the biggest reason that is not to believe in the book of religion and to believe the thinking of science, to talk about logic and fact. Due to this, a community called Religious Nones has become a very large community that does not believe in any religion. They are either an atheist or agnostic.
