| Summary: | Demographic correlates of religious non-involvement were examined among a national sample of black Americans. Two indicators of religious noninvolvement were investigated: Absence of a current religious affiliation, and failure to attend religious services in adulthood. Multivariate analyses indicated that gender, marital status, age, education, income, and region were all important predictors of religious non-involvement. In addition, a substantial number of blacks who were not involved in organized religious activities, nonetheless indicated that they prayed on a frequent basis and characterized themselves as being fairly religious. Directions for future research on the implications of religious non-involvement are presented. |
