What is with the fertility stats they report? Those seem obviously wrong: 3.2 for the US. They say "per couple" but still..

Number of siblings. Beware that this is NOT TFR due to sampling effects (more likely to sample form large sibships).
@PoisonAero -
Thanks. That's a really bad statistic. Underestimates the effect by a lot.

Ideally you would want to estimate the conditional distribution of fertility given religion.

And of course the article misrepresents the statistic, because it is so confusing.

It's not a good metric right, but I think they were limited by the survey data. Maybe I should make a dataviz about this metric.
@PoisonAero -
Just a quick demonstration. Would need a nice dataset to examine how large the problem is. Depends on empirical distributions.

I also apparently cannot count because there are 6 kinds of women in that list (0-5)... Math below is right tho.
