You can have all those things without. Many do. But it requires extra work that organized religion does for you, and we're talking about a problem where people aren't having kids because they are extra work
Surprisingly (for secularists), post religion means degrowth of the culture.
So it’s a good thing if you want Europe’s culture replaced by what the data show is happening, and it’s a bad thing if you think Europe’s traditional culture is worth saving.

I’m alluding to the long term trends(one - two generations out, assuming they follow the behavior of the last two generations).
