Here's an interesting article. An Australian study found that young people who play sports are more likely to practice safe sex than those who go to church. It found that the athletes were better socially adjusted through puberty had strong social networks (makes sense to me). [The article doesn't state whether these were straight/ gay/ bi students].

... now the question is: should I have posted this in the new "Politics and Religion" forum?
