→Atheism and divorce
Barna calculated divorces as a percentage of the entire group, not as a percentage of marriages within that group. Since according to ARIS 2001 more than half of all atheists and agnostics don’t get married, this is an apple-orange comparison. If one correctly excludes the never-married from the calculation, then atheists are 58.7 percent more likely to get divorced than Pentecostals and Baptists, the two born-again Christian groups with the highest rate of divorce, and more than twice as likely to get divorced than Christians in general.<ref>[https://www.chcpublications.net/IrrationalAtheist.pdf The Irrational Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, And Hitchens] by Theodore Beale (Vox Day), ASIN: 1933771364, Publisher: BenBella Books (March 11, 2008)</ref>}}
