Except for self-isolated communities like the Amish and Mennonites, and perhaps some very traditional Catholics, there is not much hope in the foreseeable future for the birth dearth among Christians. Fundamentalist Protestants and traditional Catholics adhere to Biblical morality, honor marriage and traditional families, and shun abortion and (at least Catholics) birth control. However, neither group fits into the Amish type of isolation. Even if homeschooled or attending a conservative private school, the traditional Christian child will still have to earn a living in the general economy, not from a farm or craft work.

Muslims are a self-isolating community due to their religion. Unlike the Amish or groups like Hasidic Jews, they have an ideology of wanting to obtaining dominance. It is possible that Muslims of the second or third generation may be absorbed into the secular humanist mainstream culture. Not much of a choice, but if the children and grandchildren of Muslim immigrants become tattooed perverts rather than jihadis, it would be better for society than a Muslim majority impelling submission to sharia law.
