Original sentence: As per the 1909 statistics in the Catholic Encyclopedia, the total Catholic population was 293,628 out of a total population 365,291 (80.33%).In 2011, 66% (963,877 individuals) of Goa residents were Hindu and 25% (366,130 individuals) were Christians.The percentage of the Christian population of Goa has been facing a continual decline since the Annexation of Goa not due to loss of faith, but due to mass immigration from other states of India
Edited sentence: As per the data available, Christians constituted 63.83% (232,189 individuals), whereas Hindus comprised just 35.42% (128,824 individuals) in the 1851 census.Consequentially, the percentage of the Christian population (once a majority) has been demographically shifting in favor of the Hindus.In 1998, Goa's population was estimated to be just over 1.3 million persons, of which 62% (806,000 individuals) were Hindu and 34% (442,000 individuals) were Christians.In 2011, 66% (963,877 individuals) were Hindu and 25% (366,130 individuals) were Christians.Since 1851, the Christian population of Goa has been facing a continual decline.The next census was carried out in 1881, according to which Christians were 58%, while Hindus were 42% of the population.The percentage of the Christian population went on declining in the subsequent censuses for the years 1900, 1910, 1921, 1931, 1950, and 1960, with the percentage of Christians in the censuses being 54.83 per cent, 54.76 per cent, 52.29 per cent, 49.00 per cent, 42.18 per cent, and 38.07 per cent.The reason for this was the out-migration of Christians and the probable return of the descendants of Hindu migrants who had fled Goa as well as mass immigration of non ethnic Goans into Goa
