Declining birth rates are happening everywhere in the world, not just in the christian liberal west for the reasons you gave. The primary causes seem to be urbanization and women's access to education and birth control. It makes sense to have more kids living on a farm, not so much in a city. This will drive lots of changes, both cultural and economic. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Probably depends on who you ask. Are lot of people scared of these changes? Definitely.
