Some Demographic Data:

* Religious people marry earlier and have more kids.

* The 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) reported that women who say religion is “very important” in their everyday life have both higher fertility and higher intended fertility than those who say religion is “somewhat important” or “not important.”

* The report Sustainable Demographic Dividend shows that overall and especially in the United States, religious people have more kids than secular people.

* In the 53 rich countries they surveyed, religious people have a 2.21 birthrate, while secular people have a birthrate of 1.69 — not enough to replace themselves.

And God said “be fruitful and multiply”, while the secularists say “be fruits and divide”.

It increasingly seems as if the progressive secular worldview is almost hostile to fertility.

Liberal elites don't want children.

Children require 'giving' and sacrifice. What liberal elites want are servants who vote democrat - desperate frightened second class citizens who keep them in power.

Liberal elite's alternative to having children is "amnesty" - illegals - and the horror of young children riding on tops of death trains...
