I do firmly believe that liberalistic and leftist beliefs are self selective out of the genepool - and I imagine that once many leftists have passed on and left fewer children relative to the right, which has many religious associations, that those who are militantly atheistic will be lesser in proportion
For sure. This is why religion will revive slowly, then it will arrive all at once in most of the population. As liberalism suppresses fertility in normal people, it pushes up other factors that drive the healthy to breed.
I wonder about the distinction between militant and non-militant atheism. It seems to me that the most militant atheists are the ones who come from a militantly religious background, and came into personal conflict with it. They may actually be carrying the religious trait of militancy precisely because they are the toss-offs of the religious population. Both types of atheists may tend to have fewer children, but the more militant ones may continue more, just because they keep being spawned by religious people.
Best of luck on that. Building a viable heathen community would be the critical first step. The weakness we have now is that we're too scattered to get an in-group marriage norm.

Do you think Germanic heathenism is one of the long-term winners? I hope so. My cards—and my descendants’—are all in on that.
Yes I think it will be. Specifically any iteration of it that focuses on the cult of the dead.
