Seems to be the pattern.

HAHAH that is easy

NOn religious are generally pro-choice and use condoms etc. Catholics breed like mice and forbid contraceptives as they WANT more worshippers and POOR ones too as those with kids generally have less money than those who don't . The poor are MUCH easier to rule than the rich.

The Philippines is a prime example of this.

The West is not replacing itself. The higher the level of education the more Atheists there are and the less children one has on average.
The only way the United States population does not start to fall is through immigration. Modern life is not sustainable from an evolutionary standpoint, among others.

I have 3, and stopped when I was not able to take care of any more and still do my job. That basically coincided with my late 30's, so age was a factor too. I have 3 kids but I didn't start having them until I was 30, for educational reasons. All 3 of my kids are atheists.

Most intelligent don't fuck much, too busy watching porn, counting stars or observing ants.

I only had one son. I don't believe our world will be able to occupy so many people and it bothers me when people have a litter, and even worse when we are having to pay for them!

I have two sons. Both of them told me they were atheists while I was still in agnostic mode. I know my 20yo doesn't want kids and pretty sure the 14yo doesn't either. I tell them all the time how expensive kids are!

Hmmm.... I don't know if that would of changed things for me back then. It would of been a fight in our marriage that I was one.

I have one daughter. I actually wish I'd had 1-2 more -- and she REALLY wishes that. I think it does have something to do with being secular, ergo smarter. I knew I could not afford more as a single parent and I was not naive to believe that, even if once a couple/double income, that that would not always be the case. So, I planned and made choices based on my own income.

We had two. We may breed less, but we have better sex and more of I'll bet.

Yes, I believe it is true, also better educated people breed less as well, so I dare say smarter people.

I think that’s all correct … including, quality over quantity.. My wife and I had long agreed that two ‘replacement children’ would be enough. That’s what we got, and it still feels like plenty Of those two, one’s not planning on any children (age 25), and the other’s in no hurry (age 23)… Leaving more time to make money to support Atheist Organizations

I do understand what your saying. I’ve had the same thought. Haha. Most of my friends I’ve kept throughout the years( ones like us) haven’t been having kids. Where you look at all the ones who bury themselves in society without a second thought and grip on to the closest thing. Are pushing them out like rabbits.
I have a daughter. Who at the time I couldn’t take care of and the mother wanted nothing to do with. I made a choice that I needed to be where I wanted before I could be a good father( I want to be able to give my kids at the least what my mother gave me) and I knew I couldn’t. So I found a beautiful lesbian couple who were strong and well put together and they really wanted a child. So with the understanding that when the time comes and she asks questions they will reach out to me and allow me to have my daughter again when they permit. It broke my heart more than writing can portray.
But my point is most of us are trying to give ourselves a good future. Or just not very good at making that sort of thing happen haha. Or just actually using contraception haha. But. The spikes already here. 50 years ago we were the losers. Now we are the leaders and being smart is sexier. 50 years from now. I believe the kind of stupidity we’re all worried about will be pushed out by technology.

Have 6 kids, and 14 grand kids. All are non believers, probably mostly atheist. One grand son is attending a christian church, but he is in a searching mode. 2 great grand kids, both have atheist parents. Probably will slant the curve a little.
