It is a classic paradox of our times: religious fundamentalism does create a reproductive advantage.  There is no real survival disadvantage that I can see.  Plenty of religious fundamentalists accept the notion that they are to spawn several offspring.  If one goes strictly on Objectivist philosophy, reproduction makes little sense.  Conclusion: in modern times, religious fundamentalism is a big enough reproductive advantage, it can be expected to grow over time, even in the face of counter-evidence of its veracity.
