The paper surveys the demographic processes observable in the industrially developed countries, and next it studies the effects of religion on changing birth rates. Based on foreign and domestic researches the author calls attention to an effect hitherto not sufficiently studied of the 19th-century change of paradigm eliminating the infiniteness of the dimension of time, and reducing life to an interval between birth and death, refuting the possibility of existence after death. As a result fear of death has become stronger, and efforts are made to extend life by all means, burdening medical science and demanding new areas of research. Meanwhile the dignity of dying and the acceptance of death are lost. Societies are becoming aged, and the individual has 'forgotten about' the ancient axiom that life has to be passed on, but makes efforts to realise the self within the narrowly limited lifespan instead of having children, or just a limited number making developed societies unable to reproduce themselves.
