It's multifactorial. There are plenteous government and establishment media psyops interested in taking way focus on future, freedom, and progeny. You are being deluded into believing that children are thieves of joy, when in fact the opposite is true. Our ancestors knew better.

Then there's the fact that reproduction and family-raising right require tremendous moral compass, power, and self-controlled committed action. This is far more available and thus more common among religious conservatives. Psy-op'd people are more inclined to think instant gratification and absence of pain is the way to happiness. That's animal-like.

For the modern person it's safer in many ways to decline to take a risk unless an individual and their monogomous partner (husband/wife) can be trusted to keep their word and faithfulness through thick and thin - a trait that's in high demand and low availability today. Who can find a noble woman/man worthy of this commitment and investment, to carry and bear their children?
