That's certainly true in my experience. Of myself, my sister, and my closest friends (all of whom are secular), my sister has no children, and only one out of a half-dozen close friends has any children (two of them). I have no children myself, nor any desire to have any.

This suggests a long term trend, even from a Darwinian perspective, in which secularism is bred out of the gene pool. Some children from religious families will turn to secularism, but they, in turn, won’t have many kids. This pattern has been emerging in Israel, with secular vs religious Jews, and, perhaps, in Europe, with secular Europeans vs Muslim newcomers.
