What Makes a Religion 'Spreading' or 'Stagnant'?

Religions grow when people feel connected to them. Imagine a religion as a big, friendly tree in the middle of a forest. If its branches are easy to reach and the leaves look nice, more animals (people) will come and sit under it. But if the tree is too tall or has thorns, not many will want to stay. That’s how religions spread or stagnate, depending on what makes people want to join them.
