Quote:Statistician: Decline in religion leads to decline in fertility
A decline in religion is likely to lead to a decline in fertility, according to a new analysis from statistician Ryan Burge.
“Every major religious tradition has centuries of theology and instruction about the value of finding a spouse and one common thread that runs through religious traditions is the admonition to have children,” Burge wrote in a September 5 article on his Substack.
According to Burge, Americans’ tendency to not be affiliated with any religion has resulted in fewer births.
The data showed that female respondents aged 15 to 50 who said they were not affiliated with any religion were twice as likely to have never been pregnant in their lives compared to women belonging to any faith.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
