(the first is logic) (all IMHO, of course) I too went "um, how are these atheist?" but then I also already have one very busy little godless fiend in my belly. As soon as someone pointed out RAR ATHEISTS EAT BABIES I got it and laughed as hard as I dared (there are certain embarrassing side effects to the later stages of pregnancy when one laughs. I try to avoid that when possible) @Clay – if we let them take our sense of humor, we have lost our second greatest weapon. (the first is logic) (all IMHO, of course)

(Deut might be the only one that applies, since Ezekiel is about the Israelites and Isaiah is about- I think - Persia) but god sure seems to love the imagery of eating your own babies: Deuteronomy 28:53 Ezekiel 5:10 Isaiah 49:26 Moxiequz

However Sweden, one of the most secular countries in Europe is not the one with the lowest child birth rates in Europe. For example Sweden beats Italy in birth rate handly, even though Italy is much more religious. So the relationship is not that easy. Sweden has a great child-care and maternity support system. @SickoftheUS: Don’t have a source so take with grain of salt, but as best I know high religiosity correlates with lots of children.
