Why is religion in the business of moral policing?

RE: Why is religion in the business of moral policing?
As I've said in your thread about masturbation, it's a simpleton's way of trying to maximize the birth rate so that there are as many religious people as possible.
All it really accomplishes is to make people ashamed of doing stuff that helps them stay regulated and gets them through the day, and doesn't hurt anyone.

Also I read somewhere, in regards to Islam's restrictions on such things, but also premarital sex, that there is a relationship between physical and mental health.
So a sexually repressed tense person is more likely to become the fanatic they want to produce. But this is also true of Christians.
