Ah, I see. Their growth is through "conversion."

"Although nonreligious fertility rates are very low, high rates of conversion into the “no religious affiliation” category will result in over 50 percent growth in the nonreligious population over the next generation."

But that makes me very confused on how to interpret this chart. I thought it was about fertility rates, but it's also about population growth through conversion?

The blue line is the fertility rate you need to maintain your size. Net conversions in or out are factored into that.
