Global demographics without World Wars?

What are the likely demographics globally without the World Wars or equivalents? How much larger would the world population be today? Would Christianity be stronger in the West, and would this effect fertility? Would it increase conversions? Would Europe still be populous enough to dominate globally, or would things still shift to America and now Asia?

The world population was increasing regardless of the world wars. Christianity would still be far stronger in Europe as a result of a there not being pointless wars that shattered the faith of so many leading to a higher European birth rates and hence no refugee crisis.

I imagine you'd still have colonial brushfire wars and what not

Or I dunno you could have the whole system become so unstable that chaos or revolutions break out-Marxist world!

And a part of me believes wars between the European powers were inevitable anyway
 
Assyrians and Armenians, Greeks and jews would be the majority ethnicities in many parts of the middle east, which would be under colonial rule for much longer.
Jews would have a far larger presence in europe. 100 million people who died in the wars would live.
 
Baby boom in the US might not happen. Neither would the postwar economic boom, as that was driven by having basically a worldwide monopoly on manufacturing. That virtual monopoly doesn't exist if most of Europe is heavily damaged by WW2.
 
100 million people leaving would lead to a billion or more, so Earth population wouldbe 8 or 9 billion.
Alternatively, less devastation could easily lead to better family planning (including in the colonies), resulting in a much reduced post 1950 population boom.
