If there is no afterlife, then the only way to carry your ideas and genes into the future is to have children. It seems like the destruction of religion would get more people interested in having children as it's the only "higher" function that exists for mortal beings.
Regardless of today's trends, in 100 years the only people who will exist will be those who's parents had children.
- rubicon33 7y ago> ideas and genes into the future is to have children This thinking disturbs me. I don't care about my "ideas" and my genes. I care about being alive, actually being alive. Your "ideas" and genes being passed on, is nothing even close to the afterlife I'm talking about. Not even close.
