Take Christianity for example, it doesn't clearly say in the bible sex is evil, so why do so many Christians think so? Because their parents taught them so, and it just follows down the line. Really has nothing to do at all with religion, but more about parents afraid of talking to their kids about sex, that's really what it's about. They don't trust them enough so they use the fear of hell to scare them into doing what they want them to do, which is, not have sex until they are married.
