This is not particularly an issue which concerns only white people and has not much to do with a great replacement theory. It's just a fact that births are declining world wide for various reasons.

"Globally, the total fertility rate was 2.3 children per woman in 2023. This is much lower than in the past; in the 1950s, it was more than twice as high: 4.9."

No, not everywhere, and not at the same rate.

Nigeria is holding up well. College-educated Nigerian women self-report wanting 20 children (modal response).

Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh are similar, while West Bengal and Tamil Nadu have been below replacement for decades.

Religious observance is highly correlated with birth rates, as are stable (if often terrible) levels of inequality.

Excellent points. Global data is one thing. But the details of why nations, states and sometimes regions have so different numbers tell often much more about the real causes in various periods of time.
