What a bizarre thing to study.

Bizarre is right.
Also how in the world was that measured?
Questionnaires handed out at church, the supermarket?
Phone quesionnaires?
Student surveys?

This HAS to be one of the most inane, stupid, useless, unnecessary and false "CONCLUSIONS" ever in the entire history of inane, stupid, useless, unnecessary surveys.

Oh yes, AND bizarre.

I learned in my Statistics 1 class that SURVEYS and QUESIONNAIRES are the LEAST reliable sources of information. The statisticians would know that.

I watch EWTN, same thing. THIS network was started by Mother Angelica in 1981. She finally passed in 2016.
She had a nice sense of humor as well.

They looked at county-level data and looked at how people self-reported their religious affiliation. Counties with higher proportions of self-reported evangelicals saw higher proportions of porn viewership among all teens, though the largest difference in groups was comparing non-religious teens in highly evangelical counties to non-religious teens in less evangelical communities. Personally, I have a suspicion it has something to do with an urban/rural divide and there being less to do in rural communities.

And just what does "among all teens" mean? That evangelical youth are rebellious, as we too often saw with new generations in history, or that there was something faulty in teaching morals, even though that worked before? Look at STD rates and find out what the liberal alternative leads to.
