Pews, Prayers, and Participation: Religion and Civic Responsibility in America
In Pews, Prayers, and Participation, Corwin Smidt and his colleagues undertake an ambitious project: to explore the “variety of ways in which religious people in the United States give expression to their civic responsibilities” (1). They intend to push beyond the conventional assessments of the cross-section between religion and political involvement to understand more fully the multiple ways in which “civic responsibility” or civic engagement b…

Vanishing Boundaries: The Religion of Mainline Protestant Baby Boomers
Types of Denominational Switching among Protestant Young Adults
Using a survey of young adults who grew up Presbyterian, we identified four motivations of people who switched denominations: (1) switch due to interfaith marriage; (2) switch after moving to a different town or neighborhood; (3) switch due to dissatisfaction with one's church; and (4) switch due to personal ties and influences. The third motivation was often associated with a conversion or renewal of commitment. Switches for the first two reason…

This in-depth survey provides a vivid overview of the religious world of the Baby Boomers. The authors worked with a national sample of persons confirmed in the Presbyterian Church, examining the religious faith of Baby Boomers and exploring the reasons they gave for leaving or staying in the church.

Determinants of Church Involvement of Young Adults Who Grew up in Presbyterian Churches
An interview study of 500 young adults from 33 to 42 years old who grew up in Presbyterian churches provided data for testing the importance of specific determinants of church involvement. We posited a general theory of plausibility structures. We found influence of early religious socialization to be weak. The influence of cultural broadening during the college-age years was also weak, except that it liberalized beliefs. The strongest determinan…

The New Christian Right and Mainline Protestantism: The Case of the Reformed Church in America
Much has been written about the New Christian Right (NCR) in recent years. An important question which has received considerable speculation but little systematic analysis is the extent of influence the NCR has exerted on the membership of mainline Protestant denominations. The present study examines the penetration of the NCR social and political agenda into one mainline Protestant denomination, the Reformed Church in America (RCA). Specifically…

Religion and Alienation as Factors in Student Activism
In a survey of 450 University of Michigan male undergraduates in 1969, two forms of activists were identified—organization members and demonstration participants. Both types tended to be disproportionately from Jewish homes, without personal religious preference, enrolled in social science departments, and active in campus religious fellowships. Alienation was found to be multi-dimensional, involving both specific institutional alienation and mor…
