Saying someone is religious is heard in most of America as a compliment, a reassuring affirmation that someone will be moral, ethical, and after a few glasses of wine, a freak in the bedroom.

About This Quote

In America, religion is often seen as a private matter. It is not something people openly discuss with others. It is considered private and personal, but religious. To many Americans, “religious” and “moral” go hand in hand and the person who is religious and moral must also be a freak in the bedroom.

This negative view of religion and those who follow it has been created by the media and the entertainment industry over the years. Today, we live in a time where being religious is frowned upon by many people. When this happens, it only hurts the religion itself because out of fear of being judged for their beliefs, people will stop coming to church or perhaps even worse stop believing altogether.
