No more than the non-religious, it's just that the religious people are held to a higher standard.

no I don't think so but I think two things are true
First some people enter into a religious life in order to try to deny sexual feelings they have which they feel are wrong or inapporiate. They feel they can hide from the feelings by living a stoic life and denying the feelings. Its the same thing that addicts do when they throw away their stash and vow never to think about it again but the problem still exists until they face it and begin to deal with it not just deny it.
Second some religions set standards of sexual morality that are impossible for most people to attain. These people feel guilty because they have thoughts they are told are wrong and that guilt eventually builds into a very bad situation that is acted out on
Thats my opinion anyway and I don't think its everyone religious. But my opinion is the situation would be helped if religions would stop all the guilting about talking about sexual feelings so these people could ask for help
