The Trend in "No Religion" Respondents to U.S. National Surveys, Late 1950s to Early 1980s
In: Public opinion quarterly: journal of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, Volume 51, Issue 3, p. 293-314
ISSN: 0033-362X
Data from 110 US national surveys are used to study the trend in "no religion" responses from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. The trend was monotonically upward, at least until the 1980s, when there were signs of leveling off or an incipient reversal of the trend. The trend came about through both changes within birth cohorts & cohort succession, & it involved Rs of all major religious backgrounds, & both Ms & Fs. Whether or not the change indicates an important degree of secularization is considered at length. Problems involved in using a dichotomous indicator to gauge change in a quantitative variable are discussed. 8 Tables, 1 Figure, 27 References. HA

Social Trends in the United States: Evidence from Sample Surveys

ISSN: 0033-362X
An examination of social & cultural change as a whole in the US over the years 1952-1986, based on national sample survey data. It is proposed that modern individualism has grown at the expense of Biblical religion & classical republicanism. Evidence on allegiance to political parties, to traditional Christianity, & to the family supports this conclusion. Attitudes toward civil liberties have also grown more favorable. W. H. Stoddard
