Hope you can help me out to improve my knowledge on world religiosity.
Muslims say and spread quite a lot, Islam is the fastest growing religion.
I also sometimes hear things like a 'no religion' is growing faster, and people not having a religion is growing by over 3% a year.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion
It says 36% of the world population is not religious. Between 2005 and 2012 world religiosity decreased by 9%. Great news =D. It also has some individual countries that are non religious (Vietnam was surprising).
I understand this is difficult to measure as well because things like death penalty for apostasy in over 10 countries.
Are there any reliable studies, stats that shows irreligion is growing faster than Islam in the world? Also what countries is irreligion growing at a faster rate than any religion.
Thanks
