Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I think there are more potential sex partners who are attached to some formal type of religion than not... I personally am not in the least bit biased about this discrepancy...

I do not know what you meant. 
As in can one ignore one's religiosity to have sex with them? I guess others can. I currently cannot do so.

So, unless the person that yer fukin' is of the same faith as you, then you won't fuk'em? When it comes to sex & religion, religion, more often then not, gets tossed out the window.
@Atheist3 I am agnostic. So the person would have to be faith-LESS like me. And yes, I am currently actively choosing not to date misogynistic religious men, thus will not be having sex with religious men. 
In some religions, sex is a major part of the rituals.

Which ones? Many talk of repressive sexual thoughts, which ones promote it during their rituals?
@drkhannabis I know of one religion in India where ritualized sex is part of their worship. I googled "ritual sex" and got lots of interesting hits.
@drkhannabis Hindu has tantric sex, and I believe a branch of Buddhism practices it as well. Remember the Kama Sutra? More practical than the stupid bible.
The neo druids? There was lots of innuendo in their rituals I remember. I did manage to read Aleister Crowley before my mother stole my collection of books about alternate theology. She must have conveniently forgotten her commandments that day!
You're so right! There were fertility festivals that incorporated sexual union with religion. The Greek mystery religions also included sexual frenzy in their rituals, ie Dionysus & bacchanalia.
I'd say it can be a close run thing.
I dated a preacher's daughter many years ago, I even went to church once for her. In the end for me, I didn't 'get some' and left a stable confirmed atheist.

I used to hang out with a member of the clergy’s daughter and she was ace laugh, and I doubt she missed out in any experience she wanted to partake in. Another college peer had a parent quite high up and wasn’t as at ease with himself, sometimes I still remember him and hope he’s doing well.
@OwlInASack No shit! We're fucked up!
@OwlInASack he was sadly too upset by life to be of dating interest, gorgeous in a melancholy way though!
Sex can usually overcome religion until the religious one gets in so deeply that they are almost brought to tears over prospects of some invisible part of you burning in an imaginary place forever. Paul said in the buybull that the believer might eventually convert the non-believer so this was all a good thing. The truth usually is that some zealous minister hears stories of what the couple thinks is happening in the relationship (and they are one sided stories) then that minister takes action to at least be able to keep one out of the two in his flock.
