> 11% of all American adults are divorced
> 25% of all American adults have had at least one divorce
> 27% of born-again Christians have had at least one divorce
> 24% of all non-born-again Christians have been divorced
> 21% of atheists have been divorced
> 21% of Catholics and Lutherans have been divorced
> 24% of Mormons have been divorced
> 25% of mainstream Protestants have been divorced
