Do atheist men want to have children? Or do they merely accede to so because their wives really want children?
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=66495Men who are religious might want children because it is a religious duty to do so. But there is no such duty for atheist men.
One might argue that evolution resulted in men and women being different in this way so that there is a separation of concerns, with men more concerned with bringing food for their families while their wives take care of their children.
