Yep. I find it amusing that the secular West will be undone by it's darling, evolution.
And for that to be true evolution must be true, moron.

Oh but we do have lower birth rates. With the exception of war torn nations Western nations, Japan, and China do have lower birth rates than the rest of the world. It's called contraception.

I fail to see the irony. Evolution is not something that occurs because secular people promote it. It occurs because it's how biology works.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Nahh ... they'll go the way of the christians.
Obviously I don't expect you to understand why, that would also require a good education system.
We are pretty much an oligarchy, shoveling so much money into military spending that our roads and bridges are collapsing, and tens of thousands of people die from lack of healthcare and other avoidable issues, and all that. It's getting bad over here.

Never. Islam's "advance" in the West is on a short lease.

Often cited and often misapplied. All it implies is that there is no official state religion. It does not say that the USA is as a nation, people, or government must be free of religion, its expression, historical recognition, or hertitage. The USA is founded on universal principles of human dignity and liberty generally grounded in theism without partiality to any sect, including Islam.
You can express your religion all you want; just do not do it on public land with public money, or in public schools as your capacity as a public school teacher and/or other civil servant jobs (police, firefighter, etc.)

What? People are getting fed up waiting for Jeebus to come back with his army of angels and Kirk Cameron on his side. No way!
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"

The West in general isn't reproducing fast enough to maintain its current population.
Germany has one of the lowest rates. Why do you think they took in so many immigrants? Problem is they have no idea what to do with them once they're there.

So why did Germany take them in if they don't know what to do with them? Your Fox news propaganda doesn't add up.
If they took in immigrants to make up for falling birth rates then it would be to work, to keep the economy expanding to support the pensioners. In which case they'd know exactly what to do with them. Allow them to take on the surplus of spare jobs.
As it happens, they did not take on immigrants, they took in refugees because the Germans were motivated by the atrocities of Nazism, WWII and its after effects which are still within living memory and they're trying to do the right thing after their grandparents caused a flood of Jewish refugees.
