Interesting article. However how are you measuring growth?

Quote:
how has the Bah�'� Faith become the second most widespread religion on the planet, or grown to seven million adherents, in less than 170 years?


Seems a little odd when you consider that religions by adherents , and a demographic list of religions appear not to show this. Have I missed something?

Your first link does show the number of Bah�'�s as 7 million. Bah�'�s are also listed in the demographics lists. Encyclopedia Britannica lists the Bah�'� Faith as the second most widely distributed, meaning it has adherents in more places than anything but Christianity.
