Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> It may feel like we’re living in an<br> increasingly secular world, but the numbers tell a different story. <br> <br> <br> According to a recent study, by the year<br> 2050, the number of people in the world without any religious affiliation will<br> decline as a share of the global population. At the same time, Muslims and<br> Christians are on track to make up nearly equal shares of the world’s<br> population – around one-third each.<br> <br> <br> So, if you’re not religious or if you’re<br> disinterested in religion, “you will be a stranger on this planet,” Dutch<br> philosopher Evert-Jan Ouweneel says. “Just for the sake of feeling at home in<br> the world, learn about other religions.”<br> <br> <br> In this episode, we discuss how to learn<br> about other religions well, the ways we can bridge gaps between different<br> religious groups, and what it means to reach out beyond borders to make a<br> positive impact in the world. <br> <br> <br>
