Not really, if you look at the actual birth rates, it maps to economic success more than religious identity. Yes, we all know that global population growth is mainly happening in Africa and other poor countries. You also cite global retenti

Your understanding of the statistics is lacking. A 84% reproductive cultural "replacement rate" means that in order to maintain the population protestants need to have an average of 2.38 (2/0.84) kids to have the same number
