The Bible belt is very Old Testament.
The Catholics in the European Continent allow you to do anything so long as you confess and do penance.
While the Church of England having accepted Muscular Christianity for 100 years is trying to come to terms with active homosexuals in the clergy. Muscular Christianity believed that cleanliness is next to Godliness and encouraged people to bathe and shower. It also considered that a healthy body and a healthy mind led to a healthy spiritual life and encouraged sports of all kinds, a believer could be naked in the changing room showers and wear brief shorts on the playing fields and God would approve.
