that is true. Figures suggest that if current trends continue, Islam will become the most popular world religion sometime in the mid-21st century

It may be one of the most common, but in the current political climate I don't think you can call it the most popular...

Atheism is nonreligious, I don't know the term "secular humanism", so I can't comment on that.

Secular Humanism a non-religiously based philosophy promoting man as the measure of all things.
Atheism isn't a religion

for the sake of classification we have to define a criteria that defines a religion... secular humanism and athiest do not compose enough enough of a trend to be included in the pie chart...
thats all...

Atheism is not a religion, in the sense that Christianity, Islam, and, Judaism are. Atheism is confined to one factor: the lack of a belief in the existence of a deity. An Atheist will have a personal moral code. However, it would not be derived from any religious texts.

Secular Humanism is a religion in which man is god.
Atheism may not be a religion, but it is a belief system - the belief that nothing makes sense and everything is random.

Secular Humanism should be in the other catagory. I'd be in the other catagory regardless, it's just a matter of definition.

Every real religion is both a philosophy and a belief. Unless this is really a pie chart of blind faith.
Atheism is a belief. Agnosticism is the lack thereof. Atheists believe rather strongly that everything was a giant cosmic accident. If you don't believe that, I can only say that you aren't an atheist.

What's your point? Sure, 3% is a lot. 33% is a lot more. 22% is a little less than that. I learned about percentages in 3rd grade, too.
