Darwinian Irony
So let me get this straight. According to evolutionary theory, the successful members of a species are those that leave the most viable offspring.
Those educated in American and European schools are highly likely to believe that the theory of evolution explains their existence.
Upper middle class Europeans and Americans have birth rates below replacement. On the other hand, Evangelicals and Catholics are having multiple children and raising them reasonably successfully.
So, the secularists are acting as if Darwinism was not important, while those they disdain are living as if Darwinism was true.
Hm.
