This is simply not the case, the idea that Islam is "wiping out" Christianity is hysterical Daily Mail nonsense. Christianity is in decline, yes, but the most rapidly expanding category of religious belief is in NO WAY Islam (which still only sits at around 5% of the population) but is, in fact, and I'm very happy to say; atheism / agnosticism / non-religion / anti-religion.

And this category is spread across all religious traditions. Plenty of ex-Muslim nonreligious people as well as ex-Christian.
