Temporal evolution of adherents of the major religions in Mexico: Avrami model application-Kolgomorov solid training

TL;DR

This paper models the changing religious landscape in Mexico from 1950 to 2000 using the Avrami-Kolmogorov solid formation model, revealing trends in Catholicism and Christianity's global similarities.

Contribution

It applies the Avrami-Kolmogorov model to Mexican religious adherence data, providing a novel quantitative analysis of religious evolution over five decades.

Findings

Catholicism shows significant disaggregation over time.

Christianity trends in Mexico mirror global patterns.

The model effectively captures religious adherence dynamics.

Abstract

It applies a mathematical model of solid formation, the model of Avrami-Kolgomorov [Ausloos & Petroni, 2007] to model the time evolution of percentage of adherents of the major religions practiced in Mexico, adjusting the corresponding parameters with available records in the period from 1950 to 2000 [Molina-Hernandez, 2003; INEGI, 2005]. A comparison is made with the application of the model to global trends and concludes that Catholicism is in a marked disaggregation and trends of Christianity in Mexico are similar to global.
