*Religiosity and Sex

"A pioneering study of sex between men in public restrooms identified many of the participants as religious conservatives (2). Residents of religiously conservative states also spend more on online pornography (3).

Indeed, the scientific evidence is in the opposite direction. More religious states have much higher teen birth rates and this is true even with income level and abortion rates statistically controlled (4).
[...]
Religious intolerance of teenage sexuality can have undesirable consequences for teen birth rates."

The studies cited in this article suggest a negative impact religion has on sexuality. Particularly a negativity related to a sense of disingenuous activity: claiming religiosity with a righteous stance about what is correct sexual behavior but going into public restrooms for sex; talking about faithfulness and loyalty to one's partner yet spending time with online pornography; talking about purity but with higher teen birth rates. All of which leads to a suggestive claim that "religious intolerance" of sexuality creates "undesirable consequences" in the youth.   

There are broader scopes of religion and other effects on persons. However, I don't think that it is particularly helpful to pick out the good and the bad and then point fingers or praise it. Nor is it helpful to pick out a certain group of persons and generalize it to the religion itself or even the entire body of persons that make-up those religions.

So "mistakes are made" and these are some of the consequences - fully acknowledging that there are positive effects - of religion, now what?

Is there a role that carves itself out for religion in society from the report of empirical data?

It is fully understandable that religion and society don't always mutually exclude each other - I have spoken to people who can't separate religion and society or religion and politics for that matter. Some lay out theological arguments that they can't be separated in terms of theological foundations for society while others simply state that their religion is their society. So what is to happen with these pockets, umbrellas, canopies, enclaves of religious social entities that still must inevitably interact with the rest of the population and country that may or may not share their religious perspective?
