Has anyone done this research controlling statistically for education

I'd be interested in seeing it as well, but notice that even if doing
so eliminated the difference, it wouldn't change my point that in the
real world (where people DO have various levels of education and
income) there don't seem to be any wonderful protections against
divorce inherent in religious practices.

(unless of course the rule were "since the statistics suggest that you
would have been happily married if you made more money and had a
higher income, you can go ahead and have sex even though you're not
married").

I'm not claiming here that having a certain religion causes divorce
(my argument doesn't depend on that), but simply that it doesn't
eliminate divorce.
