The literature on intermarriage in the sociology of religion in the U.S. has focused mainly on Jews and Catholics. Historically, these groups have exhibited the most concern about this phenomenon which is presented as an assimilatory threat of numerical erosion and of incorporation into a Protestant mainstream America. However, the recent increase in the population of the Nones is the most noticeable feature of recent changes in the American religious landscape. Around one-in-four young adults now self-identify as Nones. The Nones also have a significantly skewed sex ratio in that 60% are males. These two factors in combination have an important impact on the national religious marriage market. Many male Nones have to seek partners from among the religiously identified females but these unions are not random. Data drawn from the ARIS ...

Of the 1,157 students in the sample, 54 percent reported instances of anti-Semitism on campus during the first six months of the 2013-2014 academic year. The data provide a snapshot of the types, context, and location of anti-Semitism as experienced by a large national sample of Jewish students at university and four-year college campuses.

The alleged ethnic bias of Jews towards the Conservatives after 1970 is questionable when allowance is made for the socio‐economic profile. However, the postwar swing towards the Conservatives is accepted and complementary electoral behaviour, or growing conservatism, can also be seen in the USA and Australia. The religious/cultural factor in this trend is asserted in the context of surveys and historical data on Jews in other countries.
