Sex and Religion
It is my hope that this booklet may be of use to all parents and teachers whatever their religion or lack of it may be, whatever their country or social tradition. There are those who maintain that instruction in sex matters should be entirely divorced from religion. Religions, however, date from ancient days. Nearly every religion concerns itself with sex, and religious views cannot summarily be disentangled from the social consciousness on sex matters, even if it were ultimately possible to do so. But is it possible or right entirely to dissociate religion and sex ? I think not. My reason for this view I give on p. 8.
Religion, as most of us know it, is presented to us with outward trappings, which though non-essential appear essential to the uncritical mind. These outward trappings vary widely even among different sects of the same religion.
