While religion is an easy target, its not the religion, but the actions of its believers. While much is made (in the US) of the official stance of the Catholic Church against birth control, the reality is that most (US) Catholics do not share their church's stance. They may support their church, but they also support access to birth control, the practice of birth control, and, yes, they use it themselves. The Catholic countries of Europe are experiencing low population increases, frequently negative population growth. Other Catholic countries vary in their use of birth control...but one thing quickly becomes clear, and it overrides all religion: Education!!!!!!! An educated populace practices birth control, regardless of its religion. Education enables the full exercise of free will! Ensure a good education, and people will figure out how to reconcile their religion with their conscience, and act accordingly.
