Guest guest Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 The Hindu American Foundation (a Hindu anti-defamation organization based in Maryland) estimates that in the U.S. there are about 2 million Hindus of Indian origin, and that there may be as many as 1 million Hindus of non-Indian origin. The U.S. population is roughly 303 million, so Hindus still comprise a tiny minority. The HAF don't say (at least on the page where I found the numbers) where or how they got their numbers/estimates. http://www.hinduamericanfoundation.org/hintro_rising_numbers.htm As far as growth, I would assume most of the growth in numbers would come through immigration to the U.S., but I don't have any figures to back that up. , <IlluminatedCelestial wrote: > > What I always found fascinating about Hinduism that it always came across to me a religion open to societal evolution. I think if more religions were set up similarly, they would be equally as successful. If I am not mistaken, Hinduism is growing very popular in the West now along side with Islam. Again, please correct me on this if I am statistically wrong. > > Jai Ma > > Christina H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
