Islam is increasing, Buddhism is remaining stable at around 800 million adherents worldwide. As for the rest I don't know.

It varies from day to day.
Catholics are decreasing and Islamics increase as of the last STATISTICS, but it's hard to say what that means.
People like Billy Graham claim to get 4,000+ converts from one day in England.
What does that mean!
Converts from what to what.
Are Islamics converting to what Osama views as important or to what Farrikahn view's as important.
Are those converting to Catholcism totally following the Pope's edicts or not.
Mostly, it's a bunch of rhetoric in which you can use any of 20 reference sources to support you point of view.
Islam says the Abboringonies of Austrailia are LOST AFGHANISTAN settlers, as a result they make ALL of them MUSLIMS for statistical reasons.
Is that a FAIR thing to do!
Bam, in one fell swoop you make a million or so people Muslims by connection.
Is that a FAIR way to do it.
Will the individual ABBORIGONIES say, YEAH I AM!

Buddhism could may be the most reliable. Christianity and Islam inspite of the truth which could properly be shown as guy's way of controlling others must be seen staying to historic teachings by technique of adult males. I persist with what God has stated and what Jesus taught and that i will not see that in Christianity so i'm stuck out by technique of myself. yet i could quite be stuck out by technique of myself and persist with what i have self belief interior myself than persist with a faith only to be popular by technique of others.

For history go to Mapsofwar.com
In the last 400 years Christianity has been the big winner.
Today Hinduism and Christianity are growing. Catholicism is shrinking as is the Muslin faith.

Religions that increase due to including infants born ' into' it, are not very honest.
It takes a mature decision to decide to obey God. Infamts cannot do that.
A religion that includes ONLY mature baptised in its numbers is one that is truly increasing.
