18. There is no judgement attached
I support people getting divorces if they need to. If they are wise enough to realise the relationship is not working then I say end it. There is not some attempt to moralize behind these numbers. There is no suggestion being made that atheists are better than theists.

It simply putting the lie to the claim of the right that the heathens and homosexuals are at cause for any loss of sanctity of the institution of marriage. The fact is more Christians per capita terminate their marriage vows than atheists.

If atheists or other individuals considered by the religious right to be destroyers of values are doing better at marriage than the Christians then it is not the atheists that are detroying the sanctity of marriage. It is even arguable that the sanctity of marriage is not even in trouble.
