I don't think you're very good at projecting trends. It will be a long time before Muslims outnumber Christians in Europe, and never before they outnumber the non-religious. Birth isn't as reliable a way of transmitting religion as it used to be, especially not in a pluralistic region.

Obviously I don't expect you to understand why, that would also require a good education system.
You should explain it to pew research, because they see the non-religious declining as a percentage of the population over the next 50 years, Christians about the same, and Muslims growing.
As a percentage of the global population, not the European (or American) population. Abrahamic religions are doing well in developing countries, not so well in the developed world. Almost all the population growth in the next forty years will be happening in the developing world, which is why religiosity as a percentage of world population is expected to grow.

Germany has one of the lowest rates. Why do you think they took in so many immigrants? Problem is they have no idea what to do with them once they're there.
Fortunately, America is very good at assimilating immigrants, despite much propaganda to the contrary, and is expected to grow to 400 million people with the help of immigration.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
