The Bible specifically condemns adultery, and the practice is considered unacceptable in most religious - so many will be surprised to learn that one website for married daters has claimed the majority of its users are Christian.

Infidelity is closely linked to divorce and separation. According to the site's survey, those with religious beliefs could be more likely to have an affair.
