“…Gender was significant in all 4 of the regressions, indicating that for both African Americans and Black Caribbeans, women had higher levels of endorsements of religious coping than men. This finding is consistent with previous work on the U.S. population and African Americans, in particular, demonstrating that women are more likely than men to utilize religious coping methods (Ellison & Taylor, 1996;McCaffrey et al, 2004) and that, overall, women participate in a variety of religious behaviors more frequently than men (Cornwall, 1989;Maselko & Kubzansky, 2006;Taylor et al, 2004).…”

In contrast to Alston et al [65] and Hoge et al [67] who find little effect of socioeconomic status on religious participation, our results indicate that employment status is negatively related to religiosity, whereas household income and education have positive relationships with religious involvement.…”

“…Simmel (1898, p. 108) spoke explicitly to this notion: ''the faith that has come to be regarded as the essence and substance of religion is first of all a relationship between human beings'' (emphasis in original). Consistent with this tradition, scholars have distinguished between individuals' within-denominational social ties and within-congregation social ties, the latter highlighted as especially important for shaping religious behavior and belief (Cornwall, 1987(Cornwall, , 1989.
