		<description>Hi Timothy, thanks for posting. 

I doubt there will be a Jewish phase as they currently exist as a minority in Canada, I don&#039;t think the birthrate will be enough to increase their numbers to any automatic social status.

My sense is the loss from underwhelmed adherents will be quicker and greater than the loss from birthrates, although, your point is valid and another cog in the wheel.

		<description>What seems to have been left out of the discussion is basic demographics. Canada has a total fertility rate (TFR) of around 1.5. Replacement level is 2.1. Thus the population of Canada, which includes evangelicals, will decrease by about half or more this century. That&#039;s going to happen as millions of Canadians have never been born.

Considering that Canadian Jews have a TFR of around 1.9, they too will decrease, but not as rapidly as evangelicals. Canada may have a Jewish phase. The Nunavat have a TFR of around 3, so they are increasing in population. Their native religion could end up the winner in the demographic olympics.

Birth control has very real consequences.

God bless... +Timothy</description>
