Even some secular professors will admit that those who are religious and poor, will pretty much make up the majority of the population.

"Even some secular professors will admit that those who are religious and poor, will pretty much make up the majority of the population."

This was predicted 2,000 years ago:

"The meek shall inherit the earth."

Writing a century and a half before the birth of Christ, the Greek historian Polybius observed “nowadays all over Greece such a diminution in natality and in general manner such depopulation that the towns are deserted and the fields lie fallow. Although this country has not been ravaged by wars or epidemics, the cause of the harm is evident: by avarice or cowardice the people, if they marry, will not bring up the children they ought to have. At most they bring up one or two. It is in this way that the scourge before it is noticed is rapidly developed.”

He concluded by urging his fellow Greeks to return to their historic love of family and children. “The remedy is in ourselves,” he wrote. “We have but to change our morals.” His advice, unfortunately, went largely unheeded.

The demographic winter of the Greek city-states led to economic stagnation and military weakness, which in turn invited invasion and conquest. After a century of increasing dominance in the Eastern Mediterranean, Rome finally annexed the Greek city-states in 146 B.C.

Thanks for the link to the video “Demographic Winter”. Between the 40 minute mark and the 50 minute mark, it is amusing to watch the progressive (academic data-based mindset) twist and contort and finally in apparent exasperation admit their theories are rapidly failing and a dark demographic winter is on the horizon. . .admitting that a moral framework for healthy societies based on traditional family life should prevail.
