Bahais claim that there are
1,75,000 Baha’is in US. But the official census says something else. The
official census of United States says
that “there were 28,000 Baha’is in US in 1990, then in 2001 it figure went up to
84,000 (entry by troops?) then again in 2008 it dropped down to 49000 (exodus
by troops!)”. Extract of official census is as under:

When it comes to "Baha'i
Faith" it is very difficult to believe quoted Numbers. They have always
deceived, always lied.
Another instance, is the widespread lie , “It is the most widespread
Religion, after Christianity, in US”
Baha’i Faith openly defies previous exposures on false claims of their
population and shamelessly declares one claim after another. Baha’is had been
earlier exposed in India, Pakistan, Iran Russia, UK, US ,New Zealand. If
ownership of Guinness book was in hands of Baha’is, records would be created
hourly.
Another big
lie about the Bahai Census of South Carolina
Bahai claim that there are 17,559 Bahais in South Carolina,
it is again a big lie. A map purporting to show the second-largest religion in
each state appeared on the Washington Post's GovBeat blog
early this month, and it made a surprising claim: Of all 50 states, South
Carolina was the only one where the second-largest religion was Bahá'í.
Today, adherents of Bahá'í in South Carolina report that
the religion is concentrated in rural, largely African-American communities.
While Charleston County reported just 676
Bahá'í adherents in 2010.
*The map was based on data from the 2010 U.S. Religion Census, sponsored by the
Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies. Unlike more commonly
cited studies by the Pew Research Center, which uses phone surveys to collect
randomized sample data, the Religion Census depended on administrators and
leaders within local congregations to self-report numbers of adherents. In a
blog post for Religion News Service, Trinity College professor Mark
Silk
criticized the Post's map and the Religion Census, writing that self-reporting
by religious bodies "ranges from highly accurate to wildly conjectural and
self-serving."
So if United States wants to remain as world leader they should keep
their eyes open to want appears on their official sites. It should be their own
work thoroughly checked and rechecked by trustworthy and reliable sources. And
not the claims of ‘self-reporting religious bodies’ which has the sole aim to
serve their own deceptive purpose.
