José Eustáquio Alves
José Eustáquio Alves is a Brazilian demographer known for his extensive research on religious demographics in Brazil. He has previously predicted that evangelicals would surpass Catholics in the country's population by 2032, a projection he has recently revised to 2050 due to new data indicating a decline in the growth rate of evangelicalism. Alves attributes this slowdown to a growing disillusionment among believers with the political entanglements of religious institutions and the negative exposure surrounding certain church leaders.
