This list came from http://tigerx.com/trivia/usreligion.htm and seems looks a little too informal to be scientific, yet it's interesting anyways. I'm not sure what the numbers represent, whether it's how many people join a religion per week or what. It's suspicious that Sikhism is so much higher than all the others, though. And I'm definitely shocked to see Hinduism higher than Muslim. Furthermore, I don't see why Judaism is on a list of Top 10 Fastest Growing, when it's apparently declining. Also, what about Agnosticism, Paganism, and Wicca? I bet those numbers are changing a lot.
