The phenomenon of large-scale migration of Christians is the main reason why Christians' share of the population has been declining in many countries. Many Muslim countries have witnessed disproportionately high emigration rates among their Christian minorities for several generations.[1][2][3] Today, most Middle Eastern people in the United States are Christians,[4] and the majority of Arabs living outside the Arab World are Arab Christians.
Push factors motivating Christians to emigrate include religious discrimination, persecution, and cleansing. Pull factors include prospects of upward mobility as well as joining relatives abroad.
