Talk:Growth of religion/Archive 2

have reviewed the information in the database and found it to be reliable, (2) it is published by Brill, one of the most well-known and trusted academic publishers in the world, (3) it is edited by Todd M. Johnson and Brian J. Grim, two recognized experts in their field, (4) the WRD project is based at Boston University, an accredited research university, and (5) the WRD is a scholarly database and the most comprehensive of its kind, meaning it was created by scholars for scholars. The WRD meets all of the criteria used by Knowledge to determine reliability (unlike many of the sources currently used in the article), and thus should be regarded by other editors as one of the best references we have. Knowledge encourages use of references that meet Knowledge's criteria for reliability (which the WRD does). Here are some more things to consider: (1) one of the WRD's largest sources of information is the Pew Research Center. The WRD gathers statistics from Pew and others, collates, cross-references, and analyzes the information, and reconciles conflicts. (2) One of the editors of the WRD is Brian J. Grim, a senior researcher at Pew, so we have no reason to suspect the WRD of misusing Pew data. If you have anymore questions, please read

1902:) I agree individual religions disagree with WCD - mine does as well - yet I cannot find another reputable source. Instead I have adopted WCD data in such articles adding a comment with other sources I can find from time to time make other claims (either the religion itself when they are willing to make a claim or a government census or the US State Department taking the occasional stab at an estimate.) WCD is by far the most available. A problem with Factbook, the other main source of info, is that it reports %'s and you have to back track to actual numbers and worry about significant figures and since they don't keep older data available their %'s and population numbers aren't linked for consistency. And the format of the webpage pretty much defeats the kind of linking for specifics we want. And they pretty closely agree with WCD. 1762:, even after I have made the link available to you time and time again. Although I'm amused Knowledge is considered "actual official stats" by some, I'm not convinced I should trust a conglomeration of disparate sources whose reliability may be questionable and demographic tables that have not been been cross-referenced, peer-reviewed or systematically analyzed for redundancies and conflicts, over a single scholarly database which provides the same international religious statistics. Because you appear to have no interest in participating according to Knowledge policy despite my best efforts to promote better editing practices on your part, I have no interest carrying this discussion any further. If you still believe I'm wrong to include the table, 4773:, You sound you do not understand the difference between the distribution of Christian and between the number of Christians, the Paragraph, which cited that christianity, is becoming less concentrated in Europe and more evenly distributed throughout the Americas, sub-Saharan Africa and the Asia Pacifi region and the majority of Christians are no longer living in Europe is already contained, This does not mean that Europe is no longer with Christian majority as you trying to suggest (in fact according to the study 65% of Europe's population will be Christians by 2050), or there also will be a modest decline of the 4647:

it is mention the by 1900 93% of population were living in Europe and the Americas, and by 2010 25% of world’s Christians population lived in Europe, and by 2050 its expected to that 16% of the world’s Christians population to live in Europe. in absolute number is expected to grow from 517 million to 1.1 billion in Sub Saharan Africa, and from 531 million to 665 million in Latin America and Caribbean, and from 287 million to 381 million in Asia, and from 266 million to 287 million in North America. So the change in Regional Distribution of Christians, 2010 vs. 2050 is already mentioned.--

4793:

grow from 266 million to 287 million, The decline is the shares of the global Christian population residing in North America, Other example; in 2010 24.5% of the world’s Christians population lived in Latin America, by 2050 22.8% of the world’s Christians population is expected to be living in Latin America, the decline is not in popultion numbers since christian number will grow and from 531 million to 665 million in Latin America, the decline is in shares of the global Christian population residing in Latin America. There is a big differece between these two cliams right?.

4080:) 16:37, 5 May 2016 (UTC) Well that what the source said about convert: "Statistical data on conversion to and from Islam are scarce. What little information is available suggests that there is no substantial net gain or loss in the number of Muslims through conversion globally; the number of people who become Muslims through conversion seems roughly equal to the number of Muslims who leave the faith. As a result, this report does not include any estimated future rate of conversions as a direct factor in the projections of Muslim population growth".-- 2764:: I agree with Benfold and EvergreenFir that those edits are not constructive. Per WP:LEAD, the lead is a summary of the article. Religious growth of Buddhism in Singapore and Hinduism in Australia and Ghana are not notable enough to mention in the lead. Islam is the fastest growing religion worldwide. National exceptions may be mentioned in the corresponding sections of the article, if they are referenced with reliable sources. The only reliable source used in these edits was the Australian census. 4212:

population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population. The other Study do claim that the reasons why Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population is due primarily to the young age and high fertility rate of Muslims relative to other religious group. This paragrah is not about the factors of Muslim population growth, This about Islam s the fastest-growing religion in the world and the reason why it's growing faster.--

2615:

even if your claim is true (which with only OR we don't really know for sure), it's not going in the article without better sourcing. So it's largely unhelpful in discussing what to include in the article. In other words, at most you should be asking people for sources for your claim so you can include it in the article, not for people to disprove your claim for any reason. If you want to debate the subject matter of the article, you're welcome to do somewhere besides wikipedia.

4717:. Despite you cliam you took this information from the page 60, where in fact the source cited in p.59-60 : "The world’s Christian population is expected to grow from 2.2 billion in 2010 to 2.9 billion in 2050.3". also the source cited: "In all other regions, the absolute number of Christians is expected to grow in the coming decades". So the soruce do not mention in no place that there will considerably be a decline in the total Christian population in the world. 141:(ARDA). However the WCD stated: "The Baha'i Faith is the only religion to have grown faster in every United Nations region over the past 100 years than the general population; Baha’i(sic) was thus the fastest-growing religion between 1910 and 2010, growing at least twice as fast as the population of almost every UN region." This source's only documented flaw was to consistently have a higher estimate of Christians than in other cross-national data sets. 31: 3211:, so the onus is on you to provide sources. At the moment, all we have to support this claim is Louise Muller's biography on his African Studies Centre's page. That's a start. Unfortunately, there are much more reliable sources, e.g., the World Religion Database (and JimRenge kindly alerted you to this) that don't support this claim. For the record, Louise Muller does appear to be a real scholar, but his book 2563:. Only Hinduism and buddhism other than Islam have largest growth in multiple nations. Because the lead is small it doesn't even effect, you can remove Islam from the lead too, instead of giving extra support by mentioning on lead and later sections, but not any other religion. Not only australia, but ghana. And singapore, macau for buddhism. But you are trashing that information simply because 1486:

that syncretism makes it difficult to estimate the Buddhist population, that estimates range from 350 million to 1.2 billion, and that most estimates cluster around 350–550 million. There is no reason to throw out the baby with the bath water; the table contains a lot of information very important to this article. A footnote is all that is needed to remind readers that the Buddhist population

1625:. I have provided many references supporting the position that most scholars agree upon a figure of 350–550 million. You have not provided a single reference disputing this and have repeatedly removed referenced content. When there's controversy (as is bound to happen with religious topics), we do not remove information from Knowledge if the information comes from a reliable source; instead, 4181:

population growth (could be Christians, Muslims, Jewish etc), The source do not cited that these factors are part of reasons why Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population, The first souce do claim that main reason why Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population are young age and high fertility--.

2663: 4865:

in Latin America and Caribbean, and from 287 million to 381 million in Asia, and from 266 million to 287 million in North America. (The decline is the net movement or the cumulative Change or net loss in switching which not necessarily in the overall absolute numbers like you are trying to suggest), beside that that inforamted been already coverd. It POV you trying to push it.

is about the the convert growth in the western world, no mention about the ratio and while only 2% of total muslims lives in the western world. So how is the inflounce of the muslims growth in the western world is affected the total Muslim World growth?. and agian the CNN is not giving data and figures about this convert ratio compared to the world's Muslims growth.--

4249:: The number of Muslims around the world is projected to increase rapidly in the decades ahead, growing from about 1.6 billion in 2010 to nearly 2.8 billion in 2050. Muslims are expected to grow twice as fast as the overall global population. Consequently, Muslims are projected to rise from 23% of the world’s population in 2010 to 30% in 2050.41 4015:: The number of Muslims around the world is projected to increase rapidly in the decades ahead, growing from about 1.6 billion in 2010 to nearly 2.8 billion in 2050. Muslims are expected to grow twice as fast as the overall global population. Consequently, Muslims are projected to rise from 23% of the world’s population in 2010 to 30% in 2050.41 2665:. Moreover, if certain religions have significant growth in some countries only in recent years then they can be expanded to their corresponding sections in the article but both Buddhism and Hinduism is declining worldwide including decline of Hinduism in India thus adding particularly these two religion in the lead violates the policy of 3290:. Yes, I agree that the fact, Islam as the fast-growing religion in terms of converts may not be supported by multiple sources but per the Pew report, the projected fastest growing religion is also Islam so I have changed the lead to be more specific and added multiple reliable sources to it. Please, check and let me know your thoughts. 4667:. Thus when the research explicitly mentions growth or decline, this should be mentioned with proper citation and I would prefer to quote from sources for researched data. If copyright is the issue, it can be re-written. Also, you wrote in your edit summary not to remove any source while you're doing that yourself in the subsequent edit 1362:) has voiced concerns that this article's table of religious demographics is "totally unreliable" because "there's not even a clear membership of religions such as Taoism or Spiritualism, and Confucianism has no membership since it's not a religion." These are serious allegations that I want to address. The table is reproduced 2522:"The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important aspects.", "The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview. It should define the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points—including any prominent controversies.", in 1908:) I'd agree with extending the comments from those snopes and united-academics links, but prefer more academically originated articles, along the lines they point to - that the media has sometimes exaggerated fears and mis-represented some facts that growth does not mean overwhelming the population for various reasons. -- 1613:. I understand that you believe the figures I have quoted are too low, that they are "very false stats"—you have made your personal beliefs abundantly clear. What you have not done is provide a single peer-reviewed reference to support your position. Not a single one. So let me try to make this clear: 4864:

The source do not mention that the decline is with absolute numbers as you trying to suggest, in fact the number of Christians in absolute number is expected to grow to more than double in the next few decades, from 517 million to 1.1 billion in Sub Saharan Africa, and from 531 million to 665 million

4582:

Pentecostalism and related charismatic movements represent one of the fastest-growing segments of global Christianity. At least a quarter of the world’s 2 billion Christians are thought to be members of these lively, highly personal faiths, which emphasize such spiritually renewing “gifts of the Holy

3740:

A paradox that you support the addition of three references from the Pew study in order support the cliams that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, and then delete the claim of the same study that this growth is mainly due to the high birth rate. The CNN report -it's not even a study-

3720:

The CNN source is about muslim convert in the Western World the source dose not giving figures or numbers about the convert or their total ratio compared to the world's Muslims growth in the census, The other three sources are from the Pew study, The pew study do cliams that the total world growth is

3266:

It's already in my edit summary, but your reversion was flawed for several reasons. First of all, the initial clause of your sentence was so obtuse, it made no sense. Second, your claim for Islam being fastest growing via CONVERSION came from an old Guinness book. This is contradicted by the FAR more

3154:

does indeed state that Hinduism is Ghana's fastest growing religion, but if you look closely at the bottom of the page you'll see that this "source" is actually a snapshot of Knowledge! We can't cite Knowledge as a source. Patheos is a weak source; the "Religion Library" section of the website may be

2312:

You can make your own research if you want any "statistics" or "growth in Ghana". Instead of reverting the clear and proper representation of a reliable source. If you want to stick to such POV, then you may want to object upon the sources that are saying Islam to be fastest growing religion, because

1325:

Aside from its historical growth, the Bahá'í Faith is projected to have the fastest average annual growth from 2010–2050 (according to the WRD), so it should be included. Thanks for the well-referenced and balanced addition. The progress of this article has been frustratingly slow, but it's beginning

4323:

Again sure all these are factors of population growth as the study cited, But you ignore that the study do not cited or cliams that all these factors are the reason why Muslim are growing faster than other religious groupes. The study do give two main reasons why Muslim growth faster than non muslim

4275:

I am not pushing my personal opinion. I have presented the Pew Research source itself which clearly mention the reasons for Muslim population growth and this does not contradicts with the other source you have provided as all these factors are the reasons for faster growing of Muslim population. The

Education (particularly of women) Economic well-being (standards of living) Contraception and family planning Urbanization (movement from rural areas into cities and towns), and Religious conversion To fully understand the projections, one must understand these factors, which the next section of the

2826:

Just to remind you that I had no problem with the current lead until you changed it. I have no issues on the current lead if those particular references are not added back. Since, the later part of the article already covered each religion thus I see no need of mentioning individual religions in the

2811:

I find 2-3 more sources for lead, for now, one source is confirmed which is australian gov. Or maybe we can use a "Note" instead of direct reference, which would cite about Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and anything else. I know that many references of this page needs to be arranged properly.. I

2614:

Remember the purpose of talk pages is to discuss how to improve articles. It may sometimes be helpful to use limited original research to aide in seeking out sources etc. But this doesn't generally including making a claim based on original research and then asking someone to disprove it. Ultimately

2289:

This is not true. The growth of Buddhism is not supported by any secondary reliable source, no statistics but growth of Hinduism has been supported by the Australian census. The growth in Ghana is not cited by any independent reliable source. Hence, mentioning Hinduism as fastest growing religion in

2208:

There's a POV-tag on the Islam section, which there should be since there has been a lot of edit warring and adding IMHO very biased material. I can't see any discussion here on the talk page about the problems having been rectified and everyone being happy, which there should be before removing the

1939:

No it is not false. No fact exists in isolation. It is the best overall available and it is agreed to by many others. There is acknowledgement that in the far east there is a tendency to combine religious practices - Ive seen lots of commentary about that. That does not diminish that some are "core"

4646:

While most of your edits here are Knowledge:Copyright violations, you still pushing POV. The study cited that by 2050 the share of Europe’s population is 65% (I don't know why you keeping removing it), and 16% of the world’s Christians population are expected to be living in Europe. In the pagraph

4230:

than the non-Muslim population. The Study cited that the main reason why Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population are young age and high fertility. You are pushing your personal opinion. The study do not cited that these factors are the factor why Muslim

4138:

Births (fertility rates) Deaths (mortality rates) Migration (emigration and immigration), and The age structure of the population (the number of people in various age groups) Related factors – which are not direct inputs into the projections but which underlie vital assumptions about the way Muslim

2781:

I can also add the countries where Christianity is largest, so that would make 3 another religions that are largest increasing in number of countries. Because you have made a lot better point, I have made the lead pretty more specific to the point of article. I have no problem with the current lead

2685:

Another reliable source supports that Hinduism is fastest growing in Ghana. Buddhism and Hinduism are not declining, but one of the fastest growing religion because their increase is in plus. Seems like you are never going to agree with anything else other than your own personal agenda, even though

2629:

Nil Einne. If Hinduism is fastest growing religion in Ghana, Australia. And Buddhism is fastest growing in Singapore, Macau, etc. How come it cannot be written on lead that "Buddhism and Hinduism remains fastest growing religion in number of countries", it is being conflicted today for basically no

2354:

Please, stop vandalizing and from your edits you seem to me a sock. Firstly, The Australian source is a reliable source which is already presented in the article but the www.patheos.com link is a blog post and not independnent of the subject hence not acceptable. Secondly, you entered that Hinduism

1669:

As I have already explained over and over again, the WRD is a very good reference because it is regarded as one of the most authoritative sources of religious demographic data available. Here's why: (1) the WRD is a peer-reviewed secondary source of religious demographic data, meaning other experts

if you have not read it before, and reread it if you've read it already. The guideline says "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy."

3892:

Hi, firstly, you have to go by sources and cannot cherry-pick words. The study titles "The Future of the Global Muslim Population" i.e. it is a future projection and not overall fact and secondly the study mentioned both immigration, high fertility for growth in US and not just the whole world. It

The only mention in the CNN report about convert is : "Islam has drawn converts from all walks of life, most notably African-Americans. Former NAACP President Benjamin Chavis, who joined the Nation of Islam recently, personifies the trend." it's not even support the cliams the the growth of muslim

3206:

the aforementioned "sources" even after responding to this discussion, so I assume you find (or found) them credible. The problem is that they're not proper sources because they don't even make the claim that Hinduism is the fastest growing religion in Ghana. I correctly deleted them "without even

2855:

Do these claimed numbers of adherents include toddlers and infants? I've seen educated adults refer to babies, whose cognitive capacity was limited to 'touch big blocky thing, poop, waaaah,' as Christians -- is that level of generalization at play in these numbers? Note in fairness that a Deist or

1586:

I don't really want to get started, no wonder how much you copy paste your own comments more and more. The point is that this table is based on very false stats, it says that Buddhism population is lower than 400 million? Yet there are so many estimates that population of buddhists is much higher,

4868:

In fact between 2010-2050 the Buddhists will experience the greatest total population loss than other religions, since their numbers will decline from 487,760,000 as in 2010 to 486,270,000 as in 2050 (net loss -1,490,000), while christianity is in the second place in experience the greatest gain.

4792:

I will try to exmplain this point, in 2010 12.3% of the world’s Christians population lived in North America, By 2050 10% of the world’s Christians population is expected to be living in North America, This decline is not in popultion numbers as you try to suggest, since the Christian number will

4294:

Yes there is a difference between the factors of population growth (Muslim ) and factors of why muslim are growing faster than non muslims, The study do not cited that all these factors are part why Muslim are growing faster non Muslims. You claim that these factors are factors of why Muslim are

4180:

Well this paragrph is about why Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population, these factors don't claims that are the reason why Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population, these factors do introuduce as factor of

3201:

Bladesmulti, stop removing the block quotations from the talk page; I've cited them properly (author, title, year, publisher) and they're needed to provide background information for other editors who desire to join this discussion. The only "serious rules" I'm violating are the ones spawned from

2213:

I can't see any conflict. The section looks well balanced and represents scholarly views. I've tried my best to add relevant and reliable material over the last couple of hours as I did notice some problems. There doesn't seem to be any problems now. If there are then no one has discussed them on

1924:

So you are actually agreeing that the tables is false, but it should be implied? Whoever has inserted the table to the page, never had the discussion. And the table was first removed as per this edit, i haven't even mentioned yet, that rest of the article mentions the rise of atheists, while this

1700:

Not about the sources at all. Because a lot of sources suggests that 9/11 was inside job, but doesn't means we can officially add it? These numbers of the tables are not reliable at all. Knowing that Taoism's population is over 20 million, Sikh population is over 28 million, Hindu population is 1

1485:

A figure of 350–550 million Buddhists is reasonable because that is what the majority of scholars who study religious demographics have agreed is reasonable. I have yet to find a single peer-reviewed published study/database claim there are 1 billion+ Buddhists. Ideally, the article would explain

1470:

Reasonable to you because it probably favors any of the religion which has shown off it's stats in large amount. I don't want to get into the depth of it, because the stats are unclear to the actual point of view, nor it can be decided that what is going to remain after 30 years, considering that

4906:

In specific regions, religious switching is forecast to have a more substantial impact on Christian populations. In North America, Europe and the Latin America-Caribbean region, Christians are projected to experience net losses because of religious switching, with most of the switching toward no

They are a reasons of Muslim population growth as they are also the reasons of Christian population growth or Hindu population growth, But not reasons why Muslim growth is faster than other religious groupes (since the study do not cited that they are part of factors), The study again with other

3347:

Do we have any concrete figures on agnostics? I feel like I'm in a minority since we don't know (!). At the research center I work in, most of the scientists are agnostic (no I haven't done a survey or anything they just don't care for religion!). It would be nice to see pure agnostics who don't

Because "Projections of future religious adherence are based on assumptions that trends, total fertility rates, life expectancy, political climate, conversion rates, secularization, etc will continue. Such forecasts cannot be validated empirically and are contentious (...)." (see section "Future

followers more likely one way than another as the table shows. The table is sound as far as it goes. You are wrong about the limit or atheists and agnostics. You aren't reading the table. This is the kind of thing that makes it hard to credit discussing things with you as others have observed. --

4938:

The largest net losses are expected among Christian populations, notably in North America (28 million), Europe (24 million), Latin America and the Caribbean (9 million) and sub- Saharan Africa (3 million). In the Asia-Pacific region, Christians are expected to have a net loss, due to religious

1905:) I agree mass media consumption of data can be misleading like those hoax links. But they don't change the actual reality of the WCD data. Rather they are reacting to extreme unreasonable interpretations of the data that irresponsible people are echoing. That's my view. The tablets should stay. 1451:

information in the article that addresses religious (as opposed to denominational) growth; in other words, the table is the only way we would know that Christianity experiences (and is projected to experience for the next decade) the fastest absolute growth and either Bahai or Islam the fastest

2385:

Obviously you are the sock puppet here, reverting back to nonsense that you had done with your ip 117. until this page received protection, then you got into your main account. Patheos and asiantribune, are incredibly reliable sources. They have been used over hundreds to thousands of times on

1413:

The table seems to be really misleading, because it says 1.8 billion for Muslim population and 2.5 billion for christianity, while according to many estimates it's suggested that buddhist population is above 1 billion. Such stats are going to be contradiction. So better to just don't add them.

4481:

Certain religions have different growth rates in different countries in different times but as per the independent sources, and Pew Research thinktank Islam is cited as the global fastest growing religion so do not change the lead to include all specially when there are no credible claim from

4211:

These factors as the study say are factors of population growth (could be for Muslim, Christians, etc). That dose not mean it's factors why Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population, since the study also don't cliam that these factors are why Muslim

3178:

It is necessary to stop you from violating some of the serious rules. I cannot find that when did I said that these links are reliable, bigger point is that when you are directly blanking the information without even looking around. Now we have confirmed that this information is certainly not

2796:

My friend Delibzr, you're again distorting the sources. The references are not credible and reliable except the Australian census and adding particularly these sources which acknowledges only Hinduism and Buddhism and not other religions in the lead is a POV. Those sources do not cite about

4146:

There is no mention here about the factors of muslims growth, and what reason the muslim growth is more than non-muslim while the first source do cliam that the significant projected growth is largely due to the young age and high fertility rate of Muslims relative to other religious

2165:

For WP purposes in categorization, formatting, etc (including section headers) this has been an ongoing discussion over many years, with the general consensus that Mormonism is categorized as a form of Christianity. We also already have quite an extensive article on this topic called

3267:

reliable Pew report that Islam's growth by conversion alone is very difficult to gauge, and seems to not be a source of major growth. We have both these sources in the main for the reader to study. Putting just one - and the older, less reliable one - in the lead is not due balance.

4920:"Over the coming decades, Christians are expected to experience the largest net losses from switching. Globally, about 40 million people are projected to switch into Christianity, while 106 million are projected to leave, with most joining the ranks of the religiously unaffiliated" 2142:

I'll agree that there are denominations of Christianity that don't see Mormonism as Christian - but there are denominations of Christianity that think Catholicsm is another religion. If there is a serious case to be made there are plenty of places it should be made - like

4943:

The table in p.43 provides absolute numbers of Christians living out in particular regions. i.e. 28 million in North America, 24 million in Europe, 9 million in Latin America and the Caribbean and 3 million in sub-Saharan Africa. And 2 million in Asia-Pacific region.

4750:, I wrote "demographical change (i.e. regional distribution) of Christian population will be marked by 2050". Another fact the study brings is that notable demographical change of Christians living in Europe which will loose its plurality of the world’s Christians. -- 4260:

the factors why Muslim population is growing faster than non muslims. While in the same time you adding these factors as the reasons why Muslim population is expected to grow at a faster rate than the non-Muslim population, Which wrong since the study do not cited

3310:

Should agnosticism be a part of atheism? In fact should there be an atheist section and an agnostic section? I identify with agnosticism myself, and wouldn't class myself as atheist. It's just for accuracy purposes. Would make more sense if the section was split.

4358:

three sources show that the main factors why Muslim growth is faster than other religious groupes is mainly becouse of young age and high fertility. Do you have a source cited that all these factors are why Islam is growing faster than other religious groupe?.--

4295:

growing faster non Muslims, Can you show where excally the study cited that?. The article here mention that Islam is the faster grwoing religion, The only factors that mention why it is the faster grwoing religion by the study is young age and high fertility.--
