Will Biology Kill the Secular West?

By the year 2050, the global landscape will undergo a historic transformation as the Muslim and Christian populations reach near-parity, a phenomenon known as the "Great Equalization." This massive tectonic realignment is not being driven by religious conversions, but rather by the powerful engine of demographic momentum, characterized by high fertility rates and youthful populations in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. As the secularized and aging West grapples with a "demographic winter" and collapsing pension systems, the center of global gravity is shifting toward a more devout and energetic Global South, forcing a total reconsideration of the twentieth-century's "rules-based" international order.
