I noticed looking at my family tree, that basically all the secular branches have below replacement fertility, while the more religious branches have above replacement.
Ironically it seems secularism is the ultimate proselytizing ideology, it seems it can't grow its own base through reproduction, it can only tempt the religious to abandon their religion and enjoy secular freedoms with fewer responsibilities (like fewer kids) - but it has to repeat this process at every generation to survive.
Also ironic that secular society holds up the theory of evolution as a reason we no longer need religion, yet it seems evolution itself favors the religious with more descendents!
- vmception 5y agoHow does secular society hold up the theory of evolution as a reason we no longer need religion? I don’t really see the relation. Some major religions have a creation story that relies on spontaneous creation and found it really important to not consider anything else. But what is secular society proposing exactly?
- popcube 5y agoscience theory do not offer any moral guide. we exist because our ancient was cruel do not mean we should be cruel. we got intellengence, we can chose we want.
