Here's the breakdown from the 2021 Australian census of how many children each woman in her 40s has had, broken down by religion. https://mappage.net.au/?s=qm8746df

Sikh women had the smallest % with no kids.

LDS were most likely to have many children, followed by Muslims.

Regressions don’t show causal order. I think an alternative hypothesis to be considered is that women who don’t have children are being excluded from evangelical and catholic churches, either because of the antiLGBTQ discrimination directly or because of the misogyny of those churches (and not having a kid to hold them there for the kid’s sake). I am exRC for those reasons.
