Dear sinister
First of all let me clarify that i am not at all saying that religion is only factor that affect population
other factors like economy ,food production,healthcare etc do play a very important role.And my defination of materialistic means a person who runs for more and more material.he could be atheist
or following some religion.but as atheisism don't have any spirituality so obviously chances are they will run for more and more material.
actually sinister you are taking the example of communist countries.communist countries are famous for their human right voilations.there is no freedom or free will.the government just decide whether a country needs population growth or population control.Just take alook at how soviet did this.

Family in the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All children, whether legitimate or illegitimate, were given equal rights before the law, women were granted sexual equality under matrimonial law, inheritance of property was abolished, and abortion was legalized.[1]
During Joseph Stalin's rule, the trend toward strengthening the family continued. In 1936 the government began to award payments to women with large families and made abortions and divorces more difficult to obtain. In 1942 it subjected single persons and childless married persons to additional taxes. In 1944 only registered marriages were recognized to be legal, and divorce became subject to the court's discretion. In the same year, the government began to award medals to women who gave birth to five or more children and took upon itself the support of illegitimate children.[1]

So communist countries cannot be taken as example.Also the take over of china by mao does not mean
that the chinese society immidieately left the religion.just because the government was atheist.
according to following site population growth of iran is
is 1.10%
Population Growth Rate - GlobalHealthFacts.org
As i earlier said other factors do play an important role may be other factors are responsible here.
here you are wrong .not all muslim countries have oil jsut take a look at population growth of some of muslim countries with largest population.
Population Growth Rate - GlobalHealthFacts.org
pakistan -2.09
bangladesh2.09%
indonasia 1.41%
malayasia 1.78%
afghanistan 2.67
I simply don't understand what oil has to do of population growth of these countries
even in india at the time of partition muslim population was 8% but now it is around14%.If religion does not play any role then how the population of muslims in grown by 60-70%.Population growth of muslims is one of key agenda of rss because they are afraid that at this rate muslims will become majority in india 1 day.
