520 |a Regional and residential patterns of being "unchurched" on the part of black Americans are assessed using the 1978, cross-sectional data from the Gallup Unchurched American Study. Blacks residing in the metropolitan non-South have the highest rates of being unchurched, followed, in order, by blacks in the metropolitan South and blacks in the nonmetropolitan South. Occupation, education, and income are not related to being churched. The unchurched are especially likely in the metropolitan non-South to view churches as too restrictive morally. Sunday school attendance as a child and beliefs in afterlife and literal interpretation of the scripture are positively related to being churched in the metropolitan South but not in the metropolitan non-South. The salience of religion and mother's religious attendance are related to being churched in both metropolitan South and non-South. The findings are interpreted by considering the differentiation of black religiosity in the urban, especially nonsouthern locale. Life style (cultural factors), instead of limiting, structural factors (rural residence, lower educational levels, et cetera), increasingly is important as a factor related to black religiosity. Studying the rates of unchurched/churched vis-a-vis changing society and culture provides a vantage point for viewing the black church and religiosity.
