1. Thanks for this. And I think you are quite right about the anti-natalist underpinnings of the Progressive-Neopagan culture being the formula for its own undoing and impending death.
2. The birth-rate angle on the early spread of Christianity is fascinating and I'm certainly going to look into this more. I've long been of the mind that the way Christianity spread throughout the Mediterranean world was largely-peaceful and a very different process than how it was spread by the sword and by political machinations into the (then) underdeveloped parts of Europe and then later other places.
