For 2050, the predictions are that robots will be doing all the work; even they will drive cars as well. And if this forecast stands true then many of those robot controlled cars would stop and park at masjids and churches.

It is estimated that Islam and Christianity would be the two religions which would have the highest population. Islam will become the fastest growing faith with the population of 2.76 billion by 2050. This would be the one-third of world's total projected population from almost nine billion people.

Christianity would also grow but not at the same rate as of Islam. Therefore, Muslims are projected to nearly match Christians in both number and share of the global population. Christians would comprise of only thirty-one percent of the world's population. In the past decade the population has increased to one hundred and thirty-seven percent and out of that Christianity has increased with just forty-six percent, while Islam has increased with two-hundred and thirty-five percent. According to sources it has been found that 100,000 people per year in America only, have converted to Islam.

This means that six out of every ten people will be Muslims or Christians by 2050 and this would happen first time in history that these both religions will grow at an equal number.

These projections are based on the age of populations, migration, fertility, conversion patterns and mortality rates. One can simply put it this way that Muslims are having bigger families with more members while transformations are prohibited in some Muslim countries and they are younger than believers of other religions. More than 1 in 3 Muslims is younger than 15. This aspect connects with Muslim women having an average of three children, the highest figure of any religious group. In the future, if education and employment proportions grow, then those numbers could change.

Some of the related forecasts for 2050 are that Muslims will exceed Jews and would become the largest non-Christian religion in the U.S. India will be having the largest Muslim population in the world, passing Indonesia, but Hindus will hold the supremacy. More than ten percent of Europeans will be Muslim, while the figures of Christians in Europe will descent by hundred million. In the upcoming years it is projected that one hundred and six million people would leave Christianity. The total countries with Christian majorities will drop to one hundred and fifty-one, from countries like Australia, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Macedonia, Benin, the Republic of Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nigeria, New Zealand, France and the Netherlands. Muslims are likely to make up more than fifty percent of the population in fifty-one countries.

The Christian wedding ceremony is an important ceremony for those who celebrate this religion. The ceremony is filled with multiple steps that are an important for the religion and for the couple involved. Those who do not follow the Christian faith may be a little confused by the entire ceremony. If you are going to attend a Christian wedding, you will want to know what you should expect. These are seven of the most important steps of the wedding for this religion.

Important Family Members are Seated

The first part of the actual processional includes the important family members of those who are to be married. This includes the parents and grandparents of both the bride and groom. It may include aunts and uncles who have been an important part of the lives of the bride and groom as well.

The Processional

The processional is the most well known part of the Christian wedding. The processional introduces the wedding part and eventually introduces the bride and groom to the wedding ceremony.

The Prayer

Most Christian weddings will have a prayer directly following the processional. This prayer will change based on the wishes of the bride and groom, and the priest that is performing the ceremony. Those who are uncomfortable with prayer from other religions should know that the prayer will be said out loud to the entire group.

The Pledge and the Wedding Vows

The bride and groom will then pledge to the congregation that they are willfully going through the wedding ceremony. They will then exchange wedding vows. While some will choose to stick with the usual wedding vows, others will write their own vows. They may do this with the usual vows, or in place of the usual vows.

Ring Exchange

The couple will then go through the usual ring exchange of the wedding. Some couples will choose to say their own vows during this time instead of replacing the usual wedding vows.

Unity Candle

The Unity Candle is not always a part of the Christian wedding. Some couples will choose to light a candle together before their wedding ceremony has finished. This is a symbolic tradition that shows the unity of the couple as they start their journey together.

Prayer and Presentation

The priest will then say a final prayer to bless the new couple. The groom will then be told that he can kiss his bride. The couple is presented as a couple for the first time, and will then exit the church.

There are multiple steps to the Christian wedding ceremony. While some steps are staples in every ceremony, others may change depending on the wedding. There will be different rituals and traditions that some may use during their weddings. With that being said, these steps will give you a good idea as to what to expect when you attend this wedding.
