Broken Homes
Divorce, Annulments, Broken Families and Religion
Did you come from a broken family?
That was the question that was asked to me. I said yes.
That’s why.
He made it sound like that’s the reason why I became a secularist.
Having a bad experience growing up, growing up without a father or being in a broken family are common misconceptions that the theists think about the secularists.
Both of my parents consider themselves as cafeteria Catholics, for short, secular people. They may be annulled, but they said that they felt happier when that came.
According to the elders, people wouldn’t say that they came from a broken family because of heavy religious influence which makes them think that they are heretics. At the present time, people are very open about it and it is accepted in the society.
Today, the religious community are alarmed with the boom of divorce within their society.
According to this, 20% of Catholics and Protestants and 40% of Jewish marriages end in divorce after 5 years.
Also, the Barna Research Group stated that in the United States, 11% of the adult population is divorced, 25% of adults have had at least one divorce during their lifetime and divorce rates among Christians are significantly higher than those of other religious denominations, and much higher than atheists and agnostics.
The results from their research about divorce rate by religion show that: 1. Non-denominational (Evangelical Christian congregations that are not affiliated with any specific denomination) – 34% have been divorce 2. Baptists – 29% 3. Episcopal – 28% 4. Pentecostal - 28% 5. Methodist – 26% 6. Presbyterian – 23% 7. Lutheran – 21% 8. Catholic – 21%
Their research proved that the conservative Christians have the highest divorce rate, while the mainline Christians have a lower divorce rate. They found some new information that states that atheists and agnostics have the lowest divorce rate at all. The Associated Press confirmed
