Their abstract is pretty specific: “We examined associations between state-level religiosity/conservatism and anonymized interest in searching for sexual content online using Google Trends (which calculates within-state search volumes for search terms).” All they looked at was state-level data and made their own assumptions about the causative impact of conservatism and religion. That may be described in several ways, but scientific isn’t one of them."
