Furthermore, in 2012 biblical creation belief in the United States saw a surge in growth and in 2013 biblical creationists will be more unified and engage in more grassroots activism. See: Biblical creation belief will grow in America in 2013
Why does this matter? Biblical creation belief fuels Christian theological conservatism which in turn fuels pro-life activity.
Consider:
The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann wrote in his 2010 book Shall the Righteous Inherit the Earth? concerning America:
A survey of 1535 people, conducted by the Australian National University, revealed that belief in evolution is associated with moral permissiveness. See: Morals decline linked to belief in evolution If you teach people that they come from animals and that are merely animals and they will often act like animals.High evangelical fertility rates more than compensated for losses to liberal Protestant sects during the twentieth century. In recent decades, white secularism has surged, but Latino and Asian religious immigration has taken up the slack, keeping secularism at bay. Across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will begin to tip the balance in the culture wars towards the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be pro-life. Their activism will leap over the borders of the 'Redeemer Nation' to evangelize the world. Already, the rise of the World Congress of Families has launched a global religious right, its arms stretching across the bloody lines of the War on Terror to embrace the entire Abrahamic family.
In addition, evolutionary and atheistic ideology often leads to more abortions in societies and leaders of these ideologies have often been at the forefront of pushing abortion. See: Evolutionary thinking and the pro-life vs. pro-abortion movements in 2012/2013
