{{Cquote|Today, values play a more important role in fertility behaviour, throwing the contrast between religious pro[[natalism]] and secular low-fertility individualism into relief. Over several generations, this process can lead to significant social and political changes. Early Christianity’s exponential rise during its gestation period from 30 to 300 A.D. has been traced to its superior demography (fertility, mortality and female sex ratio), which maintained a rate of growth similar to contemporary [[Mormonism]]: 40 percent per decade. For Christians, this led to a jump from 40 converts to 6 million inside three centuries. (Stark 1996) Christianity became the religion of an empire and a continent. In the United States, conservative sects increased their share of white [[Protestantism]] from roughly a third to two-thirds during the twentieth century – largely on the back of higher fertility. On the other hand, sects like the Shakers and Cathars, which permitted entry only through conversion, rapidly faded from the scene. Demographic religious revival is a medium and long-term phenomenon, but awareness of shifting population composition can lead to political soul-searching and instability well before the full impact of demographic change takes place. This is clear in ethnically-tense societies like [[Israel]], [[Northern Ireland]], [[Bosnia]], [[Lebanon]], Cote D’Ivoire or Assam.<ref>[http://www.sneps.net/RD/uploads/1-Shall%20the%20Religious%20Inherit%20the%20Earth.pdf ''Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth?: Demography and Politics in the Twenty-First Century''] by [[Eric Kaufmann]], Belfer Center, Harvard University/Birkbeck College, University of London (PDF)</ref>}}

As atheist populations rise in age, the fertility rates of atheistic countries could drop further.

These demographic trends could have potentially damaging consequences for European economies."<ref>[http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/MG206.html Low Fertility and Population Ageing], Rand Corporation</ref>

Yang Fenggang of Purdue University, in Indiana, says the Christian church in China has grown by an average of 10% a year since 1980. He reckons that on current trends there will be 250m Christians by around 2030, making China’s Christian population the largest in the world.
