Fastest-Shrinking Religion? (ritual, Buddhism, Jehovah, Mormonism, America)

[FerventGodSeeker]

Last time I checked Guiness, I believe Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world today. Are there stats on what the fastest-shrinking religion in the world is?

I think that Hale-Bopp comet thing has to be somewhere near the top of the list.

Interesting stats, Gentoo.

I wonder if they count Bosniaks as white, American, Muslim converts?

No offense, but I'm wondering where they got their statstics? Within 10 years the LDS Church has grown over 6 million. That's a little more then just a turnover rate if you ask me.
