While your argument is intuitively correct it seems like there are forces working against it. Religiosity has been declining in America. I wonder if there's sort of a cultural inequality that can occur. Religions have as strong cultural influence, but most pop culture is dominated by a secular liberalism. I imagine that secular libertal pop culture has a strong impact in religious communities. Either you choose to give up your religion, or you just realize you just don't want to live in whatever limited small town way that your religious upbringing necessitates. The stronger the progressive cultural forces, the more people born into religion that don't end up being conservative or religious long term. That along with liberal immigration policies may outweigh the birthrate impacts.
