Notes: Importance of religion is measured on a four-point scale; church attendance is measured on a six-point scale; education is measured on a seven-point scale; number of children and age are continuous. All other characteristics except religiousness are measured dichotomously. Figures in parentheses are standard errors. ref=reference group. na=not applicable.
