50% Christian Men & 20% Christian Women Watch Porn On Sundays – Survey

Religious views on pornography are based on broader religious views on modesty, human dignity, sexuality, and other virtues which may not be reflected or may be reduced for humans who practice pornography. Different religious groups view pornography and sexuality differently.

People who identify themselves as very religious and consume porn are more likely to consider themselves as addicted to porn than a non-religious reference group.

However, a survey by covenant eyes in the USA reveals that Fifty percent of Christian men and 20% of Christian women say they are addicted to pornography. And the most popular day of the week for viewing porn is Sunday.

This is however not limited to people outside the church walls or the bodies that inhabit the church pews. The Statistics show that pastors and lay leaders also struggle with keeping their eyes, the lamps of their bodies, pure.

 

 

Some of the findings of Porn in the Church are below

1 in 5 youth pastors and 1 in 7 senior pastors use porn on a regular basis and currently struggling. That’s more than 50,000 U.S. church leaders.

43% of senior pastors and youth pastors say they have struggled with pornography in the past.

64% of Christian men and 15% of Christian women say they watch porn at least once a month.

Only 7% of pastors report their church has a ministry program for those struggling with porn.

Fifty-one percent of pastors say pornography is a possible temptation. Nearly 20% of the calls received on Focus on the Family’s Pastoral Care Line are for help with issues such as pornography and compulsive sexual behavior. And of the 1,351 pastors that Rick Warren’s website, Pastors.com, surveyed on porn use, 54% said they had viewed internet pornography within the last year and 30% of those had visited within the last 30 days.
