摘要:

Religious, demographic, and economic data gathered on three Survey Research Center studies have been analyzed by major religious groups. The analysis indicates only slight differences in sex composition, marital status, and age structure among Protestants, Roman Catholics, and Jews except for a middle-aged concentration among Episcopalians and Presbyterians. People who report they are without a religion are heavily male and have a larger percentage single than does the nation as a whole. The number of children in Jewish, Episcopalian and Presbyterian families is similar, but smaller than the number in the other religious groups. On education, occupation, and income, the religious groups can be separated into three descending ranks: (1) a top-rank, having large percentages of college graduates and white collar workers, and enjoying high incomes, composed of Episcopalians, Jews, and Presbyterians; (2) a middle rank, containing smaller percentages of college graduates and white collar workers, and earning less income, consisting of Methodists, Lutherans, Roman Catholics, and the “no religion” group; (3) the bottom ranked Baptists with few college graduates or white collar workers and low family incomes.
