In hot humid climates women are less likely to get yeast infections if they do not cover their genitals. I know of no religious reason for nudity, but Catholic missionaries in Venezuela do not try to get the Indians to wear clothes, because they know the Indians are healthier naked. In the Yanomami region of Venezuela, women don't like to wear clothes in public because a naked woman is obviously unarmed, and no threat to warriors from enemy tribes.
