Abstract
Based on a 20 percent sample of U.S. counties in each state, this research utilizes linear multiple regression analyses of data from the census and from the Glenmary Research Center to examine the impact of the degree of shared religious affiliation on the divorce rate in the United States in both 1990 and 2000. The national results show at the county level in both years that the degree of shared religious affiliation is a statistically significant independent factor in the explanation of divorce rates. Further, while this variable has a consistently significant and negative directional effect on the divorce rate in both 1990 and 2000, the explanatory ability of the entire set of variables included in the analysis for each year is collectively weaker in 2000 in comparison to 1990.
