There's nothing to argue, and I really don't have time to dig up statistics all day, maybe later - you're the trying to refute it, the burden of proof is on you - even Barna and Christian supporters haven't managed to repudiate the numbers, they're either rationalizing it, or trying to blame it on liberals.
Point is, people with strong religious beliefs prioritize differently, often placing more value in conformity to group expectations than they do in the relationship - I see it all the time.
i.e., it's more important to be a "good Christian" whatever that means than it is to save the marriage if it means compromising those values.
Value is an assignment, not a hard and fast thing, we assign values to things, and there is generally a hierarchy of value assignment, but the Christian political line for example, is typically that Christians have "values", rather than that they have a different hierarchy of value assignment.
Everybody has values, we just may prioritize different values differently.
It creates some interesting conflicts - i.e., if a Christian husband turns out to be gay, it's pretty much an automatic divorce, the net result being that the family is broken up, but somehow this is supposed to reflect "family values".
Really doesn't compute, i.e., the cohesion of the family itself is assigned a lower priority than the political abstraction, "family values".
