A 133% increase would be going from 3 to 7. But your point is still valid. In the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a nationally-representative survey of young adults, 22% of 4-year college students affiliate with an evangelical Protestant denomination. Among 4-year college graduates, 17% affiliate with an evangelical Protestant denomination. This isn't exactly what you were asking for, but it's close.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421406.post-72581425433385035702008-07-24T15:26:00.000-04:002008-07-24T15:26:00.000-04:00I'm not impressed with the statistics.

So, now instead of three evangelicals in academia, there are four? I would have liked to see what the percentage is of college freshmen who self identify as evangelicals and what the percentage is of graduating seniors who self identify as evangelicals. If that percentage is going up, then I'd be impressed.Crockheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410758631825372736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421406.post-59087715141546591152008-07-24T12:59:00.000-04:002008-07-24T12:59:00.000-04:00Would this trend have any connection to the resear...Would this trend have any connection to the research that also suggests Evangelicals, especially younger ones, are becoming more politically diverse and embracing more social causes that would be traditionally connected with these universities?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00772168718321735432noreply@blogger.com
