It seems to me (and I admit I have no hard statistics to back this up) that atheist couples tend to be childless, or at least more so than religious couples. I have several ideas as to why this is, but I'd like to get some other peoples' thoughts.
The reason I'm prompted to raise this question has to do with my own personal struggle to decide whether I ever want children myself. I've never been the type of person to make decisions based on what other people want me to do, and any conclusions that I come to are entirely the result of my own introspection and rationality. Atheists are independent freethinkers by nature, and for this reason I think many of us tend to make lifestyle choices that aren't always consistent with cultural norms.
Just my opinion on the issue.
