That makes sense from an evolutionary/ biological perspective- it’s like contraceptives appear to nature like a filter - a global pandemic, an extinction event of sorts. So those who nevertheless have more children - ipso facto- pass down their trait of having larger families despite the availability of a baby pill. Fascinating hypothesis. My next question would be if there is a biological link to religion and fertility.

Yes, religiosity is inheritable. It's been proven with twin studies. Therefore, if religious people have more kids, having more kids is inheritable. (and also the world becomes more religious)
