520 |a Using the unchurched Americans data, we tested several theories of social determinants of church membership and activity. No support was found for the deprivation theory or the child-rearing theory. Some elements of the social learning theory were supported, especially the importance of gender and region. Two newer theories, the localism and value structure theories, were both supported. Persons with local orientations and traditional values in the areas of sex and family, drug use, and civil liberties are more involved in church life. In our models of social determinants of church life, we found that age and value orientations are very important, indicating that value cleavages between older traditionalists and younger modernists explain much about patterns of church membership and activity. Two subcultures have been diverging in America since the middle 1960s which produce a new pattern of churched or unchurched people.
