Claims To Be The Fastest-growing Religion
Many different religions currently or previously have claimed to be the fastest growing religion. The world's largest religions that are showing increases that outrun birth-rate include Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. There is often little coverage of the "unaffiliated" category (which includes agnostics, atheists, deists, and theists), although some evidence suggests this group is growing rapidly (see "Nonreligious" below). "The" fastest growing religion depends on the definition (below), such as absolute number vs. percentage, conversions only or also births, etc., how broadly a religion is defined (e.g., Christianity as a whole, or a particular denomination), and the period and region in question.

She serves the community in the very best and highest way it is possible to do, by giving birth to healthy children, whose physical strength has not been defrauded, and to whose moral and mental nature she can give the whole of her thoughts.”
—Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)
“The cloister and the observatory saint
Take comfort in about the same complaint.
So science and religion really meet.”
