''John Lennon'' - Evening Standard (London, 4 March 1966)
: [[Christianity]] will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than [[Jesus]] now; I don't know which will go first — rock and roll or Christianity.
I updated some of the statistics and deleted the John Lennon quote about him being more "popular than Jesus" since it was a quote by a non-Christian talking about his own "superiority" to a literal deity
===The [[Persecuted Church]], [[Mission]] and [[Places|Christianity around the world]]===
The world's 5 inhabited continents contain almost 7 more than 8 billion people. The population is increasing rapidly, and it doubled between 1960 and 2000. There are 237 independent states. 66 of these have significant restrictions on religious belief. About 3032% of the world's population call themselves [[Christian]] (2 billion people), 2021% call themselves [[Muslim]] (1.3 billion people), 15% are [[non-religious]] (1 billion) and 13% call themselves [[Hindu]]. Although [[Europe]] is rapidly becoming secular and non-religious, the majority of Christians live in areas where European settlement or missionary work has been significant. [[Asia]] is the least evangelized continent. Of Christians, there are about over 1 billion [[Roman Catholic]], 700 million [[Protestant]] and 550 million [[Eastern Orthodox]] Christians.
