Yeah, but in many of the pagan religions sex is a sacred act, not a dirty thing to be hidden away. This 'orgy' is probably one of the spring fertitlity rites Like Beltane.
Religions are very relativistic. Holy to one is hell-fire to another. It is indeed not the act itself (sex ) that is to be decried, but the fact that it was done in deceit and in a place where illicit sex is a sin is what makes it so bad.
