I'm not saying that traditional values don't affect fertility rate. My comment was responding to the claim > It more and more seems like "traditional", conservative societies are more successful on aggregate. Which is a much more general statement. I see no evidence for that claim. Evidence that traditional values affect fertility rate does not provide evidence for this claim; for that you need at least some examples of traditional conservative societies outcompeting their more liberal contemporaries in some meaningful way.
