[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 5. IME even among religious weirdos (I am a religious weirdo) it’s only the Catholics and the Mormons who regularly have that many. Other religious weirdos usually stop at four, tops. (Though many do two and ✂️ so they can drive to more extracurriculars like all y’all.)[/quote]

There’s nothing factual about your numbers, just what you’ve observed.

A 2021 study showed U.S. Catholics aged 35 to 45 now have an average of 2.1 children .        In contrast, agnostic/atheists the same age had 1.88 children.

Mormons birth rate hs gone down to about 3.4 average.

Most Catholics live in the Northeast which is the least religious area in the country.     [/quote]

It is almost like you don’t know how to respond to the claim. It is entirely possible that the average Catholic or Mormon has the number of children you posted, but that [b][i]among families that have five children, Catholics and Mormons are an overrepresented population in that five-child subset.[/b][/i]

I don’t know if the assertion is correct or not, but you didn’t address the point made. [/quote]
