I think it's inevitable that a minority population keeps assimilating over the years. Usually it takes between 50-100 years.

But since it's not fast enough for the far right, the more they pressure, the more people hold on to their beliefs.

Yeah, but they're growing because they have lots of indoctrinated children. The amount converting in or out is negligible compared to how many kids they have.

That's changed too. It's always the first wave/generation that has lots of kids. But the second generation growing up like that, never have more than 2 or 3 kids.

Nowadays, a couple with 3 kids are met with wow, how are you managing that? I really have to think hard to find someone I know with 4 kids.
