My ex was a Catholic and wanted children.
I'm an atheist and I'm childfree.
Curiously, I think kids had more weight in her decision to end it.
I don't think that's too surprising. I reckon in some ways the question of whether or not to have children is a heavier and more existential life choice than religion. Both are absolutely valid ways to live, but it's pretty much essential to be on the same page as your partner.
