My understanding is that there’s a trend in fundamental Christianity, here in the US anyway, where people think it’s their duty to have as many children as possible. That said, there’s also a good chunk of people who come from those upbringings who become very progressive minded, defeating the whole effort.
That is a thing in all abrahamic religions because what i heard is that Jews and Muslims also think is their duty to god to be “fruitful” and multiply.
Note: I put fruitful in quotation marks because that is the biblical term
Sounds right. I’m just referring to fundamentalist Christians in particular because they’re the sort I see in the US that push the concept. Most other people seem to aim for 2-3 as the ideal number of kids, or don’t want any. Or they just don’t plan one way or the other.
