Evangelical Christian blues

According to evangelical Christian author Ronald J. Sider's book The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience:

• Conservative Protestants are more likely to divorce than the national average.
• Conservative Christian men are as likely as non-Christians to view pornography.
• Evangelical teens are "only a little less" sexually promiscuous than non-evangelicals.
• Those who make abstinence pledges are, on average, as likely as non-pledgers to contract sexually transmitted diseases.
• Wives in traditional marriages "where the husband was dominant" are three times more likely to be beaten than wives in egalitarian marriages.

This of course dovetails with the parcel of delusions we Americans maintain about ourselves and the status of our nation as "number one" in myriad ways, but especially those right wing rallying points about moral values.
