Religious people have lots of fun. I think that lots of church-goers
are there for the social interaction (and the food!) (and meeting
mates!) as much as for the spiritual part.

One thing that religion preaches is that a lot of messing around leads
to STDs. Antibiotics and birth control are modern inventions. That ole
time religion was protective, so was selected.
