1. Religion isn't in place. It hasn't been since 1993. It may seem that way with Christian churches backing the shit out of the funded programs, but per an AFLA settlement in 93, religious values and references aren't allowed in these programs.
2. Federally funded abstinence-only programs do not exist. It gets labeled as "abstinence-only" when actually it involves most aspects of abstinence-plus. Abstinence is truly the best way to prevent from pregnancy and STDs (no shit), but the federally funded programs do touch on other methods of protection.
