Secular Humanism, anti-theism (Atheists who find it necessary to proseletyze), and whatever you want to call the religion of human-induced global warming.

Well, I am a Mormon and we don't believe in NOT using contraceptions... I was on the pill for 5 years and off for 2 - just celebrated my seven year anniversary and am 5 months pregnant. I believe those spirits will come when they are supposed to - whether or not there are contraceptives being used. I have a good friend who was on the pill when she got preg with her first and had an IUD when she got preg with her second child.
They come when they are supposed to.

Most religions these days see the benefits to free will choice to decide the circumstances to bring a loving child into the world. Using contraceptives puts the individuals in charge of their lives.

Many Pagan religions believe in the right of people to use preventative measures against pregnancy.
I know that mine believes in taking contraceptive measures if you do not want children.

Most Wiccans, at least that I've spoken with, favor contraception if no child is desired from the union (whether the sex is premarital or marital). Sexuality is not sinful in our worldview, if it is engaged in with proper precautions, which in some cases includes contraception.

Yes, many protestant Christian denominations believe in birth control - not just the rhythm method. Most prefer that you abstain from sex before marriage, but not all will condemn you for it. I can't speak for any religions other than Christianity - I haven't studied them.

Protestants do, obviously after marriage though (or a couple of weeks before if needed for it to kick in, 1st lovemaking should occur on or after the wedding night...)

Sure. Not all religions are explicitly against it.

Begin you own religion! You can call it 'CONTRACEPTIONISM'
