So, now that we know via this study that conservative Christians in the deep south divorce more, what are we going to do as a nation, to save the institution of marriage?
Divorce is more common among conservative Christians and young people, according to a recent study.So, while conservative Christians claim their marriages are superior because "God is (supposedly) in the mix," they are getting divorced at higher rates than their more progressive counterparts. Facts never get in the way of conservatives claiming their behavior is superior and that they are somehow the authority on, well, just about everything. It would be nice if actual informative facts from a study like this would end the debate with conservative Christians about gay marriage, but I'm not going to hold my breath. You see, they have faith their marriages are superior to gay marriages no matter how many times they've been divorced, and all logic and facts be damned.
University of Iowa sociology professor Jennifer Glass presented her study on skyrocketing divorce rates in regions highly populated with conservative Christians to an overflowing crowd in Burdine Hall on Friday.
“Politically and religiously conservative states, especially in the Deep South, exhibit higher divorce rates than politically and religiously liberal states in the Northeast and Midwest,” Glass wrote in her study.
