Many people who seriously practice a traditional religious faith -- be it Christian or other -- have a divorce rate markedly lower than the general population.
Absolutely. First you have to define what a "Christian" is. I would imagine that it is very accurate to say that the divorce rate among church goers is roughly equivalent to the rest of the world, but I would also imagine that most church goers are not Christians as Jesus would define the word.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. - Matthew 7:21-23

That is, of course true.
But that wasn’t the point of the article.

(The resurrection of Jesus Christ is both historically credible and existentially satisfying. T.K.)
