The source for this post is the Baptist Standard, no less, and even though the data are six years old, these are stunning statistics — especially since these are the very people who are desperate to “save” het marriage from gays:

“Born-again” Christians are more likely to go through a marital split than are non-Christians, according to a new study by the Barna Research Group.

Using statistics drawn from a nationwide survey of nearly 4,000 adults, the Barna data show 11 percent of the adult population currently is divorced but that 25 percent of all adults have experienced at least one divorce.

Among “born-again” Christians, 27 percent currently are divorced or previously have been divorced, compared with 24 percent among adults who are not “born again.”

Surprisingly, the Barna report said, the Christian group whose adherents have the highest likelihood of getting divorced are Baptists. The only group to surpass Baptists were Christians associated with non-denominational Protestant churches.

According to the company website, Barna Group, which is located in Ventura, California, provides research on Christian issues.
