Default What religion is spreading like wildfire?

What is? I think Islam is spreading quite a lot. But then again, in China, they have permitted BAPS (a hindu org) to build a huge mandir complex.

I guess it is no surprise but Islam seems to be the biggest, however there are many Westerners coming to Thailand to study Buddhism, while I personally think Thai Buddhism needs a drastic reform as do many Thai monks it seems to work with Westerners.

new age/inner-life/"God Within" spiritualities are growing the fastest out of all religions in Britain.

China has always tolerated religions picking and choosing amongst them and Chinifying them. The Vizier of Kubla Khan's court was a Muslim for instance.

Percentage wise the Baha`i Faith has grown from 20,000 believers in 1892 to roughly seven million in 110 years. According to statistics on adherents.com the membership at the time of the election of the first Universal House of Justice in 1963 was about 400,000 world-wide. There are six million to seven million today. There were half a million in Persia before Khomeini that's down to 340,000. There are more than a million today in India, and the Lotus Baha`i Temple outside New Delhi has displaced the Taj Mahal as the prime visitor's site in India..

Scott

Well, it's a current growth rate not an overall growth rate.

It would be interesting to see how fast atheism is growing along-side these results.
