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).

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.

Just a quick demonstration. Would need a nice dataset to examine how large the problem is. Depends on empirical distributions.
