https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2 ... -landscape and https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2 ... opulation/ show the growth rate of religious and secular populations. Why don't secular humans have more children than the religious humans?

maybe just too responsible to want to overpopulate the world with hoped-for versions of themselves

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19_Kids_and_Counting The Duggar family had 19 kids. If all couples had 19 kids we would certainly have an overpopulation problem. Although, I think the problem is mostly a poor distribution of people. Some areas are overcrowded while others are sparsely populated. Please see https://overpopulationisamyth.com/
