Religious worshippers are getting younger

China's religious followers are becoming younger, with more than half of worshippers under 60 years old, according to a report released on Tuesday.

The China Religious Survey, conducted by researchers at Renmin University of China, found that the age range of the country's religious followers has undergone profound changes over the past decades as now a majority of believers are under 60 years old, with Islam having the largest number of followers under 30.

The researchers polled 4,383 religious venues in 243 counties or districts across the country between the second half of 2013 and the first half of 2015.
