And you would be correct, if people drilled down into the data you'd see the birth rate drops off massively by 2nd/3rd gen when they hit the modern world.

It's the Amish and Mennonites that seem to retain people well by having it be optional.

America is more likely to be Amish than anything else if we got solely by the trend.

I'd say there is a lot more too it than that

Yeah, if you're willing to make a cloister and isolate your children it might work. Not that many groups looking to live that way though.
