There are less than 350,000 Quaker’s in the world today; is our religion doomed to fade away? I would like to believe that it would never happen, but Quaker’s have never been that aggressive in converting people. Besides most people have never heard of Quakers, which is sad considering how influential Quakers have been in the U.S.
(Quakers are not to be confused with the Amish; we use technology and have almost nothing to do with oats. )

That would be sad. While no particularly reliigous myself, if I was to become a christian, quakers seem to be the only ones who are both good people and have a rational view of god.

No, they have expanded into the friend's religeons and also are very accepting of others. I think they would have a tremendous amount of followers in the new religeon, simply because of tolerance and acceptance and empathy.
Yes, they are confused with the amish, probably because of the hats.
