"This chapter considers the correlation between religion and family formation patterns. The family formation patterns of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with its strong family-centered theology, were compared with those of Roman Catholics, Protestants (divided into liberal and conservative groups), and people with no religious preference. It was found that people with no religious preference are less likely to marry, more likely to divorce, less likely to remarry after divorce, and tend to have smaller families than members of the varying religious groups. When compared with the other religious groups, Latter-day Saints have larger families, the highest rates of marriage and fertility, and the lowest divorce rates. Catholics also tend to divorce less and remarry after divorce less frequently than Protestants." [Abstract from chapter]
