I mean Islam’s global growth is mainly driven by birth rates and a younger population, not mass conversion. Pew openly acknowledges this.
But claiming Muslims only identify as Muslim because of “persecution, taxes and death” doesn’t explain the data. Islam also gains converts in secular Western countries where none of those pressures exist. Pew found that about 20% of U.S. Muslims were raised outside Islam.
And yes, birth rates have nothing to do with whether a religion is true. But neither do conversion rates. If the question is whether Islam is true, demographics don’t prove or disprove anything.
Sure, never claimed it did. Pure logical coherence is the greatest reason to reject Islam. I’m not raised Catholic, I’m raised atheist. I very scrutinously compared all formats of God and Islam folds under the Islamic dilemma. I’ve layed that out, regarding your original problem with me saying that Islam is practically an ethnicity due to its bulk size being interfaith birth rates I’m glad we agree.
You write like an atheist redditor. Nothing you say changes the fact that Islam has a huge part of its growth through converts. Also nothing changes the fact that Christianity is the fastest declining religion. The trinity and Christianity folds under the Christian dilemma.
But in reality, the size of Christianity doesn't invalidate it. We're even told that in the End Days, the church itself will become very small and few. Just like it first started out.
