Reply to comment by spaceshiploser in [OC] Worship vs Fertility by dbabbitt

Where are you getting "birth rate" from, I only see "fertility" in the chart and the source url? have not read the data sources.

The data states that fertility is shown as total fertility rate (TFR): the expected number of children born per woman in her child-bearing years. This is obviously flawed as you see countries such as China who have a limit on children allowed. If you think about it you’ll realize all this chart means is that religious folks in less developed and crowded countries have a lot of children.
