The question isn't whether they have "loads of kids", the question is whether they have FEWER kids than before. The Maoist PRC had a titanic fertility rate too, and was strictly atheist. Its fertility rates had already begun collapsing before the one-child policy.

whereas very pious christians and muslims feel safer to live in different communities, cuz people like you keep highlighting extreme observance of their religion as a threat, just some do it fascistly and some do it leftistly.

The difference is that with the exception of Kazakhstan, Christian and Muslim nations HAVE NOT discovered a solution to collapsing fertility. Israel has, and it would be GREAT if people could replicate it, but I do not think that's possible because of the unique circumstances in Israel.
