Well, maybe he wasn't before
Anyways, so he's 15, about the time you figure out your own sexuality. He possibly doesn't know what to do with it yet. If I were you I'd simply tell him that - that he needs to figure these things out for himself, and that you think (I presume) that all these strange ideas from church are hurtful in developing a natural relationship to sex. It really shouldn't be about you being right and him being wrong (like, who cares anyway), but about your worries that he develops an unhealthy relationship to sex and his body because of the church influence.
Anyways, the only thing masturbation lowers is the risk for testicular cancer. Also, going through the world horny all the time can be awfully distracting.
