Only 2 converted to Christianity in last 10 Years, Says official figures!!

As per the Freedom of Religion act in Orissa only 2 people have official converted to Christianity!!As per the law of the state, All people should register their conversion.

 

Pretty bad showing by the missionaries if they have only managed so much from 1998 to 2008 when the law came into effect. !!

 

Or we must say they have been converting and not following the government laws regarding the same making all conversions illegal.

The 2001 government religion based census says there are 897861 Christians amounting to 2.44% of the population.

 

But an official church census from the Joshua project site says a different number. They claim 1,468,575 in figures and over 3.90%. The World Christian database also concurs to this figure. They further claim that 6% of the Indian population is now Christians.

 

The government says 2.3%. The site claims that Catholics alone have grown from 1.52% (8,432,713) to 1.66% (18,250,000). Small figure but compare it with the over all population growth of India and you will see the missing pieces.

So who is lying and why?

 

Why is the government not giving proper figures?

 

Are we idiots to believe that in 10 years only two people converted to Christianity in Orissa?
