believe in God), there has been a corresponding increase in the number

Stop assuming that families with lots of children are religious
MAY 31 - THE WASHINGTON POST*
Using data provided by the Pew Research Center from our 2014 Religious Landscape Study, The Washington Post explains that 12% of religiously unaffiliated adults ages 40-59 have had four or more children (a measure known as “completed fertility”).
