The simple answer to your question is that the benefits of having properly structured families and good family life far outweigh the disbenefits. Good families as a minority in society can lead to difficulties but if there are mostly good family life there will be good societies and good nations.
Your point about shortage of resources is not correct in my ...[text shortened]... distribution. Wars are fought becuase of greed and power and not because of a lack of resources.
As cities expand and introduce agriculture, rural demand is reduced as workers are
forced to leave their families to gain work in the cities. Disease and exploitation can
then become rife in their villages.
Rainforests and fishstocks become depleted, global warming becomes even more
difficult to contain and thousands die in wars and poverty. Wars are fought
on greed and power and when resources dwindle, they become more and more
frequent. The problem is not one of distribution because that will only bring more
problems of distribution. The problem is one of population control and I don't see
religion taking any kind of responsibility in this area.
