I think there needs to be a Snopes for quotations. This is getting ridiculous.
I highly doubt that the following quote is authentic:
Sex and religion are closer to each other than either might prefer.
Apparently Sir Thomas More said it, but that’s almost impossible unless this is a really corrupted form of something he said. The OED says that ‘sex’ wasn’t used as a shortened form of ‘sexual intercourse’ (or other related terms) until at least the 1800s.

That sounds preposterously too modern for More.
