Abstract:

Those tolerant of abortion and marijuana use, who express less confidence in the clergy, are single, or are not employed tend not to report a religious preference. People with no religious preference also tended to live in the West, be young, and be male. While the size of place of residence, education, and race didn't directly affect religious preference, they did influence confidence in organized religion, acceptance of a new morality, and institutional integration.
