I agree with Mark Twain, there are, "Lies, damned lies, and statistics". You can find statistics to support whatever point you are trying to make. I'm not a Christian, but I found this, which seems to be at odds with your claim: http://www.christianpost.com/article/20080404/study-christian-divorce-rate-identical-to-national-average/index.html

Because Christians are more likely to be actually married, rather than just living together? When the relationship breaks down, you don't need to divorce if you aren't married. Do you have stats for relationship failures of atheists, equivalent to divorces?

Because Christians tend not to live together for a while before getting married, and therefore do not know, before it's too late, whether or not they're compatible with each other.

Even more falsehoods to deal with.

Because atheists don't get married. True atheists don't believe in marriage because marriage is a religious institution.

Coz Christians leave it up to "God" to fix their problems and don't take the initiative to fix them themselves. God will fix it so lets just not do anything!

It would be cool to have had a link here to see where you got this information. As it iw, I' had to look up some of this information my self, so I may not have come across the same information you did. Feel free to post your links if they differ and we'll discuss them. http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_dira.htm And interesting thing to note here is that the Atheist and Agnostic divorce rate is NOT less than ALL the Christian faiths. Most notably, they are identical to that of the Lutherans and Catholics at 21%. Also of not here is that the margin of error for the poll conducted by the Barna Research Group is +/- 2 percentage points. This means that Mormons and Mainline Protestants could actually be equal to or less than Atheists and Agnostics as well, assuming conservative estimates in error of +/- 2 percentage points. Of course, it could just as well go the other way, too, with Atheists and Agnostics being even lower than all those groups as well. Also of note, elderly people 72 and older have an 18% divorce rate and people living in the Northeast have a 19% divorce rate. I certainly applaud this survey as far more likely to be reasonablly accurate than many others conducted...or unsubstantiated claims made by some, like one divorce out of 39,000 or a flat claim of 50%. Personally, I'd like to see a GREATLY EXPANDED survey along these lines. 3,854 people over 48 states works out to an average of 80 people per state. And if divided up evenly among the groups represented (Non-denominational, Baptists, Mainline Protestants, Mormons, Catholics, Lutherans, Atheist/Agnostics) comes out to about 550 per group. But that doesn't reflect wide spread regional differences, either. Nor all the subgroups within their broad catagorizations as well. And there seems to be more information from other surveys discussed at that link which are not clearly annotated as such. For instance, what about the Jewish statistics cited? And is the 21% for Atheists and Agnostics from the BArna survey or another survey? I would like to see another survey on the order of 50,000 or more people, to cover statistically significant populations which account for the many different faiths and regions as well. This would prove fascinating. I would also like to understand how they arrive at their margin of error.

Most of the people that they consider Christian are not actually Christian. Meaning they're not devout and true to the faith. People just fill out Christian on their census form. probably like 80% of Americans will label themselves as Christian, I think only around 15% or less say they're non-religious.

If you believe that you will believe anything.
