Evangelical Protestants are clearly the least likely to say it is likely they will cohabit someday and are the most likely to have ruled cohabiting out. Still, only about one in four gave the “Bible answer” of “definitely not,” and close to half are planning on or leaning toward it.

Evangelical Protestants are not as different as we might expect: 65% have cohabited, essentially the same as Black Protestants (66%) and Catholics (63%).

Prior to conversion of after?

It would be instructive to see male/female breakdowns of that Evangelical data and questions raised of future expectations of each sex as to whether they will marry also broken down in terms of percentages for each sex. The percentages will skew wildly I believe. Because the rate was 54 percent for co-habiting, not broken down by sex...it makes me think one sex has a higher sense of disapproval than the other. That 27 percent strongly negative is also interesting. Also that missing 19 percent...was that a “no opinion” percentage or a “not raising any judgments” opinion?

The data doesn’t say much other than the poll seems pushed to say that even Evangelicals are horrible hypocrites who can’t keep things in their pants.

those numbers are bad across all groups.
