Religion, on the other hand: I honestly never cared for my religion, but still hang on due to family obligations. Their viewpoints as I grew older seemed to be out of touch with how people really behave, but I have no valid argument. Growing up in a Catholic environment has made me afraid of sex, and I guess I could understand some points they make, but to me Christianity seems to be anti-modern at its core.
It has been so from its conception. In the Roman times, it was just as much counter-cultural as it is today. In some cases, it was the same, or similar things that set it apart from the rest of society. Don't think that the sexual revolution is some recent revolution that Christianity hasn't caught up with. Rather, it was Christianity that was the revolution against the culture of pleasure in ancient times, and again at the time of the Reformation (in the latter, of course, it was an internal revolution, returning, at least in part, to the ideals of earlier Christianity).
I like to consider the better half of Christianity as postmodern, myself.
