Not at all. Since there's 'unlimited' space, you can't hog it. More info on the Mennonite faith just encourages more info on other faiths.

That's exactly right. If a set of articles seem out of proportion, it would be far better to add more to the smaller articles, then to cut material from the larger ones for no other reason than that someone had worked hard to make them more complete or comprehensive. Wikipedia is not paper. Over time, this shouldn't be a significant problem.
It also helps if people realize that wikipedia is never 100% finished.
