meaning, religiosity from lack of education does not function like religiousity from true belief, and they may not exhibit the same hyperfertility, just like they cannot recite the texts of their faith only vaguely say they believe in the religious views of their culture.

Yes, religiosity corresponds to having more children. You can look at any data and find that. But it does not save you from DECLINING fertility, which is universal even in very religious communities.

"falling and rising" are relative values. Moromonism is becoming less popular in utah, thus the rates are falling. Orthodox are increasinly migrating to israel, thus the rate is rising. "falling and rising " is entirely determined by relativity.
