Edit Reason: in fact teh study is actual explicit about the lack of correlatio
)
So I'm certain the statistics reflected married/unmarried and ages reported?
The church preaches no alcohol too, but I'm not certain with them having tons of breweries that that's as absolute as the anti-religious make it out to be.
Nor is contracteption https://askmormongirl.wordpress.com/2010...raception/ That was just a quick google search, I'm sure there's plenty since I have no LDS service first hand experience.
Botom line, The numbers for the post are aggregates of all and someone is using that to push there agenda on a supposed subset of those numbers, when it wasn't even a study specifically qualified as "LDS church member's self reported number of STD's increased exponentially this year". Utah STDs went up, so did overall population an probably instances of sex. There's no correlation to be made with the implied stance that ... ooogah boogah church bad... other than there's lots of Mormon's in Utah.
In fact the study is specific about it's lack of correlational evidence. Besides I'm not certain that even a small percentage of people that fall into their categories (such that "HIV and syphilis have increased in Utah County especially among the population of men who have sex with men") would be getting their education from a church, but it's ok continue to blame to church for ignorance, goodness knows there's enough to go around.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
