Less people believe that it is a mortal sin to show nudity or have sex (also because they see so much free sex in tubes, that looks normal and not taboo scandals), but note only catholic and islamic religions are really sexophobic and complain of obscenity. We're talking of religions in general there not of sexophobic ones only.
I do not remember having read that Jesus was against nudity or sex really, the sex is bad stuff was added centuries later when catholic and islamic ideology was defined, and no more updated (religion should not update itself as it's true forever, otherwise if you change it later, it means it was false before and truth can not be also false at same time, so better to stick with the original stuff even if it looks false, that's the faith concept too).
Note that there are lots religions (or there was, unsure if survived) in islands and places not reached by priests, where part of rites it was lots of orgies. I not remember in what island, it was even mandated to boys to do sex with other boys for some rite, so gay mandated by religion. Of course religions take different fashion depending on local factors (this is also strange if god exist, as should be same religion worldwide, but ok), but sure that's religions and include believing in what's not there according to atheists, and doing rites and prohibiting stuff that an atheist finds it silly, danger, not civilized etc. - I made the exmaple of believe in oroscope signs, in astrology, that's quite popular in rich countries and in people who have university degrees, and that's a religion, sorry to say.
I even considered (half joke) being online in world of warcraft a religion, to make it clear there's not just catholic and islamic religions which are so paranoid about nudity and sex.
Eventually sex will become, thanks to internet who make it normal to see it in tubes, more an entertainment than something sacred or taboo, but still most people will believe in super natural god(s) or UFO's superpowers - and I am both a star trek and star wars fan, still understanding what's fiction and what is truth.
