Different people self-identify as being apart of various religions or as not being apart of a religion.
This poll's percentages should represent the market's prediction for the percent compositions of each listed religion by 2030.
After 2030, this poll will close when a paper from a well-respected institution provides an high-quality estimation of the proportions. I will attempt to close the market using the exact probabilities from the research, if that is not possible, the market will stay open indefinitely and function as a poll.
Note: This is the second version of this market, the first was configured incorrectly.
Notes on the Categories:
