Pew Research Center released projections for the religious makeup of the United States. If recent trends in religious switching continue, Christians could make up less than half of the U.S. population within a few decades. But demography is not destiny when human choices are involved.

For example, what would happen if there were no more religious switching? What would happen if religious groups had identical birth rates? What if there were a complete halt to immigration?
