Current Events > Is religion the reason prostitution is illegal?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I always wondered about that I mean what are lawmakers trying to save us from? Or do they make laws to pander to certain groups?

Eh

Im not sure about the history of that one. I suspect they made it illegal along with a slew of other things the mobs were benefiting from.

Because of Christianity specifically. It was legal for much of human history before Christianity popped up. Some cultures would even have priestess/prostitutes in temples. You went and paid the priestess for sex and she gave the money to the temple . I think that was a thing in ancient Sumeria

There are objections to prostitution that aren't rooted in Christian morality
