In the first part is the article oriented towards therelation between religion and demography and what attitudes differentreligions hold towards matters of sexuality, births, and fertilitystimulation as these aspects are essential for issues regardingdemography. In the second part of the article, we apply the theoreticalapproach from the first part to the contemporary religious landscape andprognoses by using quantitative, comparative, and deductive methods.
