According to the Pew Research Center, fifty three percent of the world's population are adherents of a world religion other than Christianity. According to Adherents.com, four of the largest non-Christian world religions globally include: Islam (1.9 billion), Hinduism (1.15 billion), Buddhism (521 million),\u00a0 and Judaism (14.5 million). While many countries have a dominant population that are adherents of one world religion, most countries today experience a growing religious pluralism. The Missional College @ Missional University offers several certificate and degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate level to prepare Christian believers to serve among religious peoples across the globe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
