Islam has become the third largest religion in United States of America after Christianity and Judaism. Despite the fact that seeking citizenship and refugee in United States is far harder for Muslims than any other religious group.
Muslims are about 1% of US population which means the Muslim population is at least 3.3 Million. While Muslim groups believe that Muslims are double than the proposed figure, which is 6.6 million.

This will be because of two major reasons, firstly Islam is the fastest growing religion in United States which means each day more and more people are embracing Islam. Second reason is the fertility rate among Muslims which is higher than Christians or Jews.
But it should be noted that there are more atheist in United States than there are Muslims.
The atheists are 3% of US population which makes them 10 million in comparison with just 3.3 millions. Yet more people are becoming Muslims each year than they are being atheist showing the trend in American society.
