Are religious fanatics more likely to divorce?
assistant
There is actually some evidence that religiousness does decrease the overall divorce rate. However, some studies have found that highly religious individuals are more likely to get divorced after initial marriage, due to higher divorce rates among highly religious groups. Many social scientists believe this is due to marriages with strong religious commitments tending to have higher expectations of marriage, often leading to higher rates of marital conflict and dissatisfaction, which in turn lead to marital breakdown.
