If everyone had to wait until 25 to chose a religion then religion would adapt to this.  The reason right now that little kids are herded into religion is that religious beliefs are that the sooner you are taught "The Way" the less mistakes you will make in life.

Ture by the year 2025 Islam will be the world's largest religion! But Islam's history is just as bloody sa Christanity eventhough in my opinion Christanity is worse. In the end Islam is growing bot by violence but I'm not really sure why people are so interested in Islam. There must be something special about if so many millions of people are converting to it each year.

about 6.5 Billion... I don't know the actual percentages but over half follow Islam... the next largest would be Catholicism followed closely by Christianity.

Nope.  Christianity swept the world but, that doesn't make any other religion invalid.  If it did, there would be no other religions anymore.

RELIGION                      POPULATION IN MILLIONS WORLDWIDE\nChristian                       1758.8\nMoslum                           935\nNon-Religious                    866\nHindu                            705\nBuddhist                         303\nAtheist                          233\nOther                            219.3\nChinese (Folk Religion)          180\nTribal                            92\nJewish                            17.4\n\nTotal Population                5292.20\n\nAlthough Christianity is the largest, they only comprise just under 1/3 of the total population. 67% of the population do not believe in Jesus. Is it true? These other people in other religions wonder why people don't believe the way they do because they believe their Religion to be true. When you read out of a Holy Book, Pray with all of your heart for the Almighty Creator to show you the truth. He just might.

Flying Spaghetti Monsterism seems a fast growing religion.\n\nThe beauty is that if you get fed up with it you can always eat your god in a spicy tomato sauce.

I read an article not so long ago to the effect that the USA stands outamong developed nations for its high rates of belief in religion. The USA has third-world levels of belief, I cant remember the source, or the exact figures. Australia is a more typical developed country, where religion is the concern of a minority. Much fewer Australians attend church than in the USA. Chrisitanity is still the biggest religion in Australia, but other religions are growing faster.\n\n..............................................................................................\n\n"Based on the 2001 NCLS, it is estimated that around 1.5 million people attended services at participating Anglican, Catholic and Protestant denominations each week in 2001. In addition there were another 137,000 people attending small Pentecostal and Protestant denominations and groups, based on 1996 estimates. Assuming that this remnant figure hasn't changed much since 1996, weekly attendance in 2001 would be about 1,660,000 for Anglican, Catholic and Protestant churches. This equates to 8.8% of a population of 18,769,249.\n\nIt should be noted that the weekly attendance estimates discussed here are conservative when it comes to evaluating the proportion of the population that attends church frequently. The reason for this is that people who attend less than weekly will tend to be undercounted in an estimate based on attendance in a typical week. The actual number of Australians attending church say over a month would be expected to be higher, particularly in the larger mainstream denominations.\n\nThere is evidence here that the proportion of the population present at church in a typical week has declined since 1996. In 1996, NCLS Research estimated that there were 1,759,000 people present in a typical week in all Anglican, Catholic and Protestant churches (Kaldor et al, 1999, p.15). This equated to 9.9% of the then population of 17,752,829 (Bentley and Hughes, 1998, p.10). Weekly attendance as a proportion of population has thus dropped markedly from 9.9% in 1996 to 8.8% in 2001. This change is due to two factors:\n\n    * a decrease in church attendance over this period\n    * an increase in the size of the Australian population by around 6% over the same period.\n\nThere is other survey evidence that the proportion of the population attending religious services has decreased over the period. The 1998 Australian Community Survey found that 20.0% of the population claimed to attend religious services at least monthly or more often. The 2002 Well-being and Security Survey found that this figure had dropped to 18.6% of the population."\n\nhttp://www.ncls.org.au/default.aspx?docid=2278\n\n..............................................\n\nA survey in the 1980s indicated that 30% of Australians believed in creationism, 40% in the scientific account, with 30% unsure.\n\nperiod.http://www.skeptics.com.au/journal/2ndcoming/skepticism
