I keep seeing advertisements promoting a particular religion which boast it is the fastest growing religion in the world.
I think I've discovered an undeniable pattern to explain this, but maybe I have my facts wrong, and need to read more before I talk
;)
Any data accompanies with references would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

No one is presenting facts, everyone's just giving their personal views.

I think the fastest "growing " religion might be Islam . Mainly because they are doing what the Christian Religions used to do more of . Going into very poor uneducated areas , where people have lots of children ,and saying "We have some food and clothing for you . We are rich and powerful becuase we worship the right god . Therefore you will learn worship our god ."
Now fastest can have other definitions . Is by the number of converts or the multiplication of members . ( If a chuch of 200 doubles in size is it faster than a church of 1000 who gets 300 new members . Or is it by how rich the new members are ? And out they counting babies and children ?

I would never understand the obsession of the main religions to proselytize. They would do anything to make their numbers grow, even tramping down basic moral principles. So the ideals of the main religions are A and fear is B.

As far as the Muslims, yes. There are one hundred bajillion new Muslims every nano second according to them . . . . . . . why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe them?

Islam only has the highest birth rates because the women have no rights so basically the men rape the women and force them to stay home raising tons of kids so there will be more muslims and a fresh batch of terrorists constantly.
Lowest birth rates would be Jews. Education acts adversely with birth rates and Jews are among the highest educated.
Highest emmigration would be Catholics because the millions of Mexicans who sneak in the U.S. each year are Catholic.
Ok so what's YOUR answer? (Or did I just do your homework for you?)

Don't have any data for it, but I'd be willing to bet Islam is A and C.
