Reply to comment by tezzmosis in [OC] Worship vs Fertility by dbabbitt

I agree with you on politics. But why do you keep mentioning devout Jewish practices like I haven't understood that? You're pushing this one extreme example to claim religious belief is inherently cultish. You're unfairly extrapolating thr extreme to the common.

The graph implies the more religiously devout, and the more you worship whatever you've chose to devout your life to, the more "fertile". Graph is mis-labeled and should say birthrate. Can't really assess a woman's fertility without taking samples.

Some of these religions probably wouldn't even allow for that kind of invasion for testing, especially the most devout and trusting of what they've been indoctrinated to believe.

Fertility rate is widely understood as children/woman, no?
