Why is religion in the business of moral policing?

[The Industrial Atheist]

Seems a big aspect of religion, Islam and Christianity is moral policing. You know, don't masturbate, don't watch porn and so on. Why is it these things are considered so bad according to religion? Or at least the Abrahamic ones? I don't see as long as it's not hurting one, then why is it really such a big deal?

I don't recall the bible saying much about porn and masturbation. It does say that most people should be married and have sex regularly. Works for me.

There's the part where the adulteress is about to be stoned and Jesus says that when you look lustfully at a woman that is not yours, you comit adultery in your heart.
