=== Religious involvement and lower domestic abuse ===
An abstract for a 2007 [[Baylor University]] study entitled ''Race/Ethnicity, Religious Involvement, and Domestic Violence'' declares: "religious involvement, specifically church attendance, protects against domestic violence, and this protective effect is stronger for African American men and women and for Hispanic men, groups that, for a variety of reasons, experience elevated risk for this type of violence."<ref>[ http://vaw.sagepub.com/content/13/11/1094.abstract Race/Ethnicity, Religious Involvement, and Domestic Violence]</ref><ref>[http://www.baylor.edu/content/services/document.php/55373.pdf ''Race/Ethnicity, Religious Involvement, and Domestic Violence'']</ref>
A September 9, 2012 article at ''Atlantic Wire'' wrote about the noted atheist [[John Lennon]]:
{{cquote|But people have mostly forgotten that Lennon was also physically abusive towards women. "I used to be cruel to my woman," he said, citing the lyrics to "Getting Better" in a Playboy interview near the end of his life. "Physically—any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women." In his biography The Lives of John Lennon, Albert Goldman also maintains that Lennon was guilty of spousal abuse.<ref>[http://www.theatlanticwire.com/entertainment/2012/09/john-lennon-and-chris-brown-have-something-common/57040/ John Lennon and Chris Brown Have Something in Common]</ref>}}
