- Notes:
- Examines demographic and denominational differences in religious involvement (organizational, non-organizational, subjective) among Caribbean Blacks (Black Caribbeans) residing in the U.S.A. using data from the National Survey of American Life. Caribbean Blacks who were born in the U.S. had lower levels of religious involvement than those who immigrated, and respondents originating from Haiti (as compared to Jamaica) had higher levels of religious involvement, while persons from Trinidad-Tobago reported lower service attendance than did Jamaicans. Older persons, women, and married persons generally demonstrated greater religious involvement than their counterparts, while highly educated respondents expressed lower levels of self-rated religiosity.
