I DON'T SLEEP; I DREAM |
i'd settle for a cup of coffee but you know what i really need my name is devin. i am twenty-three. i am a chick who has the attitude of an angry male hippie and the attention span of a gnat. i live in south jersey. i have amazing taste in music and books and television and art and food and booze and basically everything there is to have good taste in. i would love to be a musician and an artist and an actress and even a dirty hipster but i suck at all those things so i'm just me instead. but that's okay. i like me. we get along most of the time. |

Notes Atheists Have Lowest 'Retention Rate' Compared to Religious GroupsThose who grow up in an atheist household are least likely to maintain their beliefs about religion as adults, according to a study by Georgetown University’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA).
Only about 30 percent of those who grow up in an atheist household remain atheists as adults. This “retention rate” was the lowest among the 20 separate categories in the study.I honestly find these results very surprising, the entire article is available at the link above.
i actually don’t find this particularly surprising. religious families practically brainwash their children into being religious. of course they’re going to have a higher retention rate than anyone else.
also see how they separated the “atheist” and “no particular religion” categories. “no particular religion” has a higher retention rate too.

many religions have a much more rigid tradition which I think is harder to break from.
