{{Cquote|Europe. From 18 million today, this model projects growth to 26 million evangelicals by 2100. The annual growth rate will decline along with the falling population AGR, which is projected to hit its peak ‘low’ rate of -0.246% per annum around 2075. Since the evangelical AGR will not be as slow as the population’s, Europe will actually become more evangelical (by percentage of the population): rising from 2.5% in 2010 to 4% in 2100 in this model.<ref>[http://justinlong.org/2016/04/when-will-the-world-be-over-half-evangelical/ When will the world be over half evangelical?] by Justin Long</ref>}}

== France and desecularization ==
Like many irreligious/nonreligious countries, France has a subreplacement fertility rate which is help causing an increase in immigration (especially religious immigrants), but some of France's pro-[[natalism|natalist]] policies is making the situation better and it now has a fertility rate better than many developed countries (see: [[Atheism and fertility rates]]).<ref>[https://geographyas.info/population/france-pro-natalism/ France, a Pro Natalist Country]</ref> See also: [[European desecularization in the 21st century]]. In 2016, France's fertility rate was 1.96 (a replacement level of births is 2.1 children per woman).
France has had a significant amount of [[evangelical Christian]] and Islamic immigrants in recent years. Many of France's immigrants are from former French colonies in Africa and Asia.
