A serendipitous discovery from our previous study spawned this report. Runkel (1998) suggests
that Christian enmity of sexuality and asceticism reminiscent of Victorian England contributes to
Freudian anxiety via sexual repression, resulting in Manichean dilemmas or “ecclesiogenic
neuroses” which may manifest a likelihood of problematic sexual behaviors. Via Gorsuch and
McPherson’s (1989) Intrinsic/Extrinsic-Revised scale of religiosity, we identified 60 consenting
participants as either Pro Religious, Spiritually Religious, Organized Religious, or Non Religious
prior to completing Hudson, Murphy, and Nurius’ (1983) Sexual Attitude Scale (SAS). Non
Religious individuals scored significantly more liberal than their counterparts, F(3, 56) = 7.39, p <
.0003. Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients were respectable. We leave speculation about our
results to the erudite reader, but it does appear that professed religious people may be more prone to
abnormal sexual problems and the correlations we see in everyday life. Our only purpose is to
make a modest contribution to the literature concerning the relationship between religion and
sexuality.
