“…In many societies, people moralize immoderate indulgence in seemingly victimless bodily pleasures, such as food, sex, alcohol, gambling, or laziness; and regard restraint, temperance, and self-discipline as fundamental moral virtues (Dabhoiwala, 2012;Glucklich, 2020;Haidt, 2012;Haidt & Graham, 2007). Such puritanical values are found across the most widespread world religions, from Christian morality (e.g., the "deadly sins" of gluttony, lust, and sloth; Le Goff, 1984;Newhauser & Ridyard, 2012;Sweeney, 2012) to Hinduism (Doniger, 2014), Buddhism (Sterckx, 2005), Islam (Garden, 2014;Mernissi, 2011;Michalak & Trocki, 2006), Chinese religions (Nylan, 2011;Yü, 2021) and Ancient Greco-Roman spiritualities (Gaca, 2003;Langlands, 2006).…”
