According to yet another of the surveys that now punctuate our lives,
39% of Americans say their sexual behaviour is influenced by religion,
compared with 16% in Britain and a paltry 3% in France. I am not quite
sure what this means. Most people would assume that religious people
are rather more chaste than the world as a whole, and that may well be
true. And yet - like the things that you're "li'ble to read in the
Bible", as listed in Porgy and Bess - it ain't necessarily so. So much
is clear from the scandals reported from time to time from the US
featuring charismatic preachers who, when female followers under their
spell throw themselves at them, can't always resist the temptation to
catch. Leaders of mystical movements emanating from the east are not
always impervious either.
