This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.
Instead, across all of these studies, which would surely include these two groups if they exist, the statistically significant finding is that it’s not the porn use itself which creates porn addiction, but it is the use of porn by a person with moral conflicts about it, that is fueling modern porn-related issues.

Because of religious opposition to sexual education, many people struggling with masturbation to porn don’t understand what is normal, and that their sexual interests are healthy. Helping people to consciously examine and consider their religious beliefs about sex, masturbation and porn, with modern, adult, self-determining eyes, may help them reduce the pain and suffering caused by this moral conflict.
TLDR; Porn use creates a moral conflict against religious belief which fuels the shame and addiction cycle.

Dunno if they're getting their data from the same place, but there is actually a study from BYU which comes to the same conclusion:
There have been dozens of studies on this. They all conclude that porn use is harmless unless it violates your religion. Then the guilty conscience gets you. This idea has been out there since Freud in the 1930’s. The only people who do not believe this are the very religious porn addicted people who are good for nothing but preaching against what they most desire to do.
Edited to add, that is for porn use. I won’t say the same for porn production or kiddy porn.
