| Summary: | The salience of religion for personal relationships is assessed using data from a large network questionnaire survey of 1439 West Coast university students. Analysis focuses on attitude concordances across close friend pairs in confirming three hypotheses: (1) objectively important ideological positions and questions of social policy are not in themselves salient for personal relationships; (2) objectively trivial habits and matters of taste often are extremely salient for personal relationships; and (3) religious attitudes and supernatural beliefs are salient for personal relationships only when they are promoted by social movements and vigorous formal organizations. The results also document the weakness of religion among liberal denominations and its vitality within the Born Again movement. |
