The Marital Integration of Religious Independents: A Reevaluation of Its Significance

Research on individuals who become religious independents ("Nones") has generally overlooked or dismissed one measure of social integration: marital status. The present investigation, using data from the merged file (1973-1984) of the N.O.R.C. General Social Surveys, demonstrates the impor...

520 |a Research on individuals who become religious independents ("Nones") has generally overlooked or dismissed one measure of social integration: marital status. The present investigation, using data from the merged file (1973-1984) of the N.O.R.C. General Social Surveys, demonstrates the importance that marital integration has for the study of religious independence. In comparison with those who identify with religious groups, the independents are less likely to be married, and, if they do marry, they are more likely to be divorced, separated, and involved in a remarriage. Their identification as religious independents appears to be less related to parents' and spouses' religion than does the identification of religious affiliates. Not only does marital integration differentiate independents and affiliates, but, in some ways, marriage is a stronger correlate of other types of integration among independents than among affiliates. Marriage appears to increase reported personal happiness, to increase belief in life after death, and to increase certain types of conservatism. The relevance that these findings have for various theories of apostasy is discussed.
