What do non-Catholic Christians believe about modesty? Do they teach the same thing as the church that our bodies are temple of the holy spirit? Thanks!

Depends. There's lots of Non-Catholic Christians. Any particular group you are thinking of?

That's like asking how people who aren't Bob Marley feel about reggae.
There are a lot of people who aren't Bob Marley with all sorts of different opinions on reggae.

Well, if it helps, before I converted, I was really active in the local Lutheran synod and with my local Lutheran youth group, and until I started spending time with a lot of Catholics, I never once heard any sort of "modesty" talk. I even went to a Lutheran university for a semester, and there was never any talk of modesty. However, when looking at clothing choices between the Lutherans that I know and the Catholics that I know, there isn't a distinct difference in style.

Now, I'm a guy, and so maybe the Lutheran women that I know do discuss modesty, but just among other women, but I doubt that.

So, here's the deal. I'm making a modesty blog and was wondering if all Christians are taught that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. I have a page about this on my blog. I was just curious. I guess I'm trying to understand my audience better.

Judging by everyone's answers, I guess I am curious about what evangelicals believe. I know they have a lot of emphasis put on modesty...(the TLC show 20 kids and counting comes to mind...)
