Today, he has finished research that he said bore out his hypotheses -- that religion and good sex don't mix. In an online survey of 14,500 people who had come from a religious background, he discovered that once they had abandoned their churches, their sex lives improved.

In his survey, "Sex and Secularism," which he publicized last week, Ray drew a direct correlation between guilt and sexual behavior. Not surprising, but he also learned that guilt eventually subsides.

"We find guilt is a pretty big thing," said Ray.

Atheists, he concluded, had the best sex of all. "They can speak with some authority," he said. "They were raised in very secular homes."

All his respondents -- over 18 and all sexual orientations -- had abandoned their churches and described themselves as agnostic or without a religious belief.

Once they left religion, more than 50 percent saw improvements in their sex lives, 29.6 percent saw no change and 2.2 percent said it was worse, according to his survey.

Those who had grown up in the most conservative churches -- based on their teachings on sex and invocation of guilt -- reported the highest satisfaction levels after leaving religion behind.

Don't really care about the story myself, i wanted to see the reaction of OT though.

One of the reasons why having a chrsitian girlfriend might not be the best idea. You just know you'd never get good sex.

it's because you have to believe in gravity to make some positions work.

I don't know what to say.

Go people who don't believe in the existence of a deity or deities?

From my experience, if you declare you're a religious person, that sort of makes you a "forbidden fruit" and girls want you more. Pun intended.

It's probably that very religous people don't tend to have much sex at all - unless they are married.

Bull. It all depends on the specific beliefs. I dated a girl from the Church of Anal and BJ and she's never been topped metaphorically speaking.

To each their own, I guess. The only thing I can assume with that theory is that some people assume religious people wait until marriage and only have sex in the missionary position while the Atheists go at it like a great adult movie.

i can attest to this. being an atheist has gotten me a girlfriend (and obviously gotten me laid in the process). dead serious. and the best part is, there were no religious inhibitors to keep us from all the kinky stuff.

base on what ive heard by many is that the ones who appear to be the most innocent are usually the most nastiest behind close doors.
