Most Gods favor a reproducing group of adherents.
Without adherents, there relevance would be lost to history.
From Adam on down, we have not let God down, we have reproduced.
Be they Eastern or Western religions, are religions and believers responsible for our dismal control of reproduction?
Are believers culpable for our overpopulation?

I wouldn't blame it on their religion.
This is a great documentary on a subject related to this.
**Warning, video very long**

YouTube - HOME (English with subtitles)
In this documentary, it explains what people who do not have access to modern technology have only 1 real resource at their disposal, having more children, more children mean more hands to help out.

Thanks for that.

If there is wealth and work to go around yes.
Many situations though are where there is no work other than trying to feed themselves and destroying habitat.
