This is evading the question, though. The population of the prosperous countries is still growing, isn't it? As is the population of the non-prosperous countries from which the immigration is coming.

So has membership in other religions been declining. It's not due to population decline, but to people giving up the religion.

China got going on it's own and is about to outrun the EU and the US inside of 25 years - thats impressive.

Can't see as the standard of living in China has increased, unless you use the Mao years as a comparison. You have lots of people being driven off their land, forced into tiny apartments in mega-cities, or even Foxconn's labor dormitories. Not IMHO much of an improvement.
