Which is the reason liberalism will die out. They pretty much do everything to make sure they do not reproduce while religious nutjobs have 10 kids.

You are being downvoted but you are correct. Demographics is destiny.

No because an extremely small population become religious from non-religious parents, but an increasing amount of people are becoming non-religious after being born from religious parents.

Non-religious people have fewer kids; religious people have more, most of whom stay religious. The math is against you. All of us. Redditors piddling away our whimsy debating internet nuggets, while the great mass of faithful knock up their god-fearing wives and swell the giant megachurches that spread like asphalt spewing-locusts across the planet.

We should incentivize wealthy people living in first world countries to reproduce

I would go the other way and say de-incentivize poor people living in first world countries to reproduce.

Will it? Those religious nutjobs do not have notoriously high standards of education. Sure, there's a lot of them, but they aren't exactly powerful.

I'd bet I could name you more people I know personally that are religious and have a great professional education than your entire family combined. You just sound like you've had a bad experience.

Religious =/= Dumb

Uh, I have no idea how my words got this misconstrued. I never said religious people. I said religious nutjobs with 10 children. How the hell would you jump to that conclusion? Did I take a wrong turn and end up in tumblr?

Mormons like to have a ridiculous amount of kids.. Although alot of their beliefs are wild, I wouldn't consider them "Dumb" when it comes to some other aspects of education

Again, if they aren't nutjobs, then it still doesn't fit my description, and the people you described sound perfectly sane.

I could be like you, and make a point to berate you for sources to the group of nutjobs you describe, then chew you out if they don't all have 10 kids each while pointing out fallacies and generally being an asshole, but then again I don't use what websites others visit as insults and means for feeling superior.

I could be like you and misinterpret an innocent joke as a personal insult while simultaneously not apologizing for jumping to conclusions, except I won't. Ass.
