The Religious Will Inherit the Earth

 

 "The fewest children in Western societies are born to people who are not religious, who hold progressive or liberal political views. Religiosity seems to act as a factor that stops the decline in the birth rate. Moreover, the more closed and, in a sense, the more radical a religious community is, the higher its birth rate. The Amish in America are currently experiencing a demographic explosion.

The sociologist Eric Kauffman, who drew attention to this trend, even wrote a book called "Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?" and his answer to the question was - basically, yes."
