What he fails to realize is that religious fundamentalists have the highest fertility rates, and their population is growing exponentially. Humanity evolving to be more religious is a lot more likely than evolving to be less religious.

Then a segment of them break off and become secularized and the whole thing starts over.

The Amish only have a defection rate of about 10-15%.

>The Amish marry within their faith. Although they accept converts, there are a very few, so there is almost no inward gene flow. They descend almost entirely from about 200 eighteenth century founders. On the other hand, there is consider-able outward gene flow, since a significant fraction of Amish youth do not choose to adopt the Amish way of life. In recent years, approximately 10-15% of young Amish left the community. In the past, the defection rate seems to have been higher, around 18-24%. Defection is up to the individual-there are no barriers against Amish who want to participate in modern society.
>Since the Amish have very high birth rates (>six children per family), their numbers have increased very rapidly, even though there is a substantial defection rate. There were about 5000 descendants of the original 200 by 1920, and today (2013) there are about 280,000 Amish.
