According to this article https://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_dira.htm , divorce is much more frequent among conservative Christians than among many other demographics, including atheists and agnostics.
But of course, it's no surprise. The moronic "no sex until marriage" concept only leads to inevitable failure. If you're going to make a lifelong commitment to someone, it is logical to know everything about them prior to making the commitment, including moving in together and engaging in sex. It is certainly irrational to make a commitment prior to engaging in sexual intercourse and cohabitation for a prolonged period of time. I speak from personal experience. Many evangelicals I know myself were married several times. Telling a young person to wait until marriage for sex will inevitably lead them to get married so that they can have sex, and more than likely, to marry the first person they find attractive. Thus, it's no surprise. Christian marriages will continue to predictably and logically fail, while we atheists and agnostics will continue to have sustainable marriages. A sustainable marriage is based upon a sustainable connection that has already been tested through years of cohabitation and sexual intercourse. It blows my mind that anyone would sign a legally binding contract to another person without first testing for compatibility for many years prior to making the commitment.
