One child policy didn't work so well in China - I think in the US population growth comes 50% mostly through immigration these days (hence the terror of white supremacists).

My response to your religious issues (tongue in cheek, do I have to say...?) is compost rapture stations. Everyone who is eager for the second coming can humanely humus themselves and feed the soil.

Less tongue in cheek this goes directly against the example of Jesus who (supposedly) escaped the soil cycle through ascension and in doing so set a very bad example to future generations.
