Statistics on religion and sexual activity, ages 20-29

The DCR Report | The National Campaign: The DCR Report (Data, Charts, Research) provides in depth answers to some critical questions about teen and unplanned pregnancy. Section J offers data and charts on Religiosity and its Association with Sexual Activity, Childbearing, and Marriage Among Young Adults Age 20-29.

Editor: It's alarming to find that attendance at religious services 1-3 times a month means little to never-married young adults in terms of sexual activity. They report having sex within the past year at a higher rate than those who never or rarely attend. The statistics could be skewed by respondents who do not practice the tradition into which they were were born (or baptized as infants). Let's hope that's the case.
