Except that's not how it works, slick. Belief, at least in the judeo-christian dogma, requires belief in one's heart. You can't do lip service. It doesn't count.
So the person making the rational decision of "I'll stay in case" has to make the rational decision of "Well, now I'm fucked anyway. Might as well screw before marriage." Also, over the course of my ethnographic research, I've met people who are devout believers. Quite a few of them, actually. So your hypothesis doesn't hold water. You're giving too much weight to the rational decision making process in what is inherently an irrational act. People don't often think this through. They're raised in it, they believe it. Period.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD.
