Is religious population growth the future?
Thanks to technology and secularisation, the birth rate has plummeted in the West. But could that trend go into reverse? Yes, wrote the academic Eric Kaufmann in Metro. The populations of European countries will actually become less secular: “This is already largely the case in London due to religious immigration.”
As religious groups make up a larger proportion of the country, society will change. “This is already happening in Israel, where secular Jews are being overtaken by religious Jews. Jerusalem has flipped from secularism to conservative religiosity due to demographics, and the entire country will follow suit. America is likely to experience this in the 2100s.”
