People are having more kids and kids tend to be the religion of their parents, so yeah, the number of theists will naturally rise with the population.  But, in America at least, religion is going down pretty significantly.

Actually Pew says that the US population will be 438 million by 2050

2015: 300,000,000 x 78.3% = 234,900,000
2050: 438,000,000 x 66.4% = 290,000,000

Although it drops as a % of population, Christianity is predicted to grow by 56,000,000 people.
