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.
It's not even growing now! There are very few Christian sects that are growing in America today, even fewer if you look at Europe. The only place that any religion is having any significant growth is in the Muslim world and those people live in a backwards place without a secular society to rein in their particular brand of religious insanity. The second secularism sets in, that growth will go away too.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
