Two really big flaws in your "stats" right of the bat -- How many non-chrisrian couples never get married and just cohabitate without getting married in the first place?
This would knock your divorce rate down a little.
I don't see how, we are talking about "Rate" not number
Out of wedlock births? Compare the abortions per pregnancy in the "Bible Belt" to Cali or the East Coast and I think you would find a discrepancy there that would explain your datum.
Here's the Abortion rate by state and here's the relgiousness by state
The least religious area in the country isn't California or the East Coast but the Mountain West and there you will find the Abortion rate equal to or better than anything in the Bible Belt.

And your point is?
