Religious affiliation statements- which are survey-based only in the US, as the US Census doesn't ask religious affiliation questions- are fairly meaningless. Far more people in my country say they are Christian than regularly attend church.

"Earlier marriage among religious individuals could also partly explain the finding". What's the legal age for marriage in the US?

Varies by state.

OK, thanks.

Religious people are less likely to use birth control or have abortions, but strangely just as likely to have sex.

Religious people don't object to sex. Just read Song of Songs.
