The Vanishing Protestant Majority
نویسندگان
چکیده
1 Advantages of using the GSS include a) its measurement of Protestants has not changed over the years, b) its high quality (e.g. its high overall response rate and low item non-response on religion), and c) its large sample size (over 43,000 respondents in 1972-2002).

Psychoanalytic Theories of Religion in Protestant Contexts
Psychoanalysts since Sigmund Freud have tried to discuss the role of religion in modern societies. Freud himself saw religion as an illusion which had struck neurotics, while Slavoj Žižek viewed it as some sort of “perversion” which functioned in the cycle of law-transgression. In this essay, I dig into these theories to uncover traces of Lutheran interpretations of Paul’s words on the Jewish l...
متن کاملINCLUSION RELATIONS CONCERNING WEAKLY ALMOST PERIODIC FUNCTIONS AND FUNCTIONS VANISHING AT INFINITY
We consider the space of weakly almost periodic functions on a transformation semigroup (S, X , ?) and show that if X is a locally compact noncompact uniform space, and ? is a separately continuous, separately proper, and equicontinuous action of S on X, then every continuous function on X, vanishing at infinity is weakly almost periodic. We also use a number of diverse examples to show ...
متن کاملPassivity-Based Stability Analysis and Robust Practical Stabilization of Nonlinear Affine Systems with Non-vanishing Perturbations
This paper presents some analyses about the robust practical stability of a class of nonlinear affine systems in the presence of non-vanishing perturbations based on the passivity concept. The given analyses confirm the robust passivity property of the perturbed nonlinear systems in a certain region. Moreover, robust control laws are designed to guarantee the practical stability of the perturbe...
متن کاملON THE VANISHING OF DERIVED LOCAL HOMOLOGY MODULES
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $fa$ anideal of $R$ and $mathcal{D}(R)$ denote the derived category of$R$-modules. For any homologically bounded complex $X$, we conjecture that$sup {bf L}Lambda^{fa}(X)leq$ mag$_RX$. We prove thisin several cases. This generalize the main result of Hatamkhani and Divaani-Aazar cite{HD} for complexes.
متن کاملThe Effects of Catholic and Protestant Schools: A Meta-Analysis
A meta-analysis was undertaken, including 41 studies to determine the infl uence of Catholic and Protestant schools. The analysis examined studies undertaken at both the elementary and secondary school level. The results indicate that both Catholic and Protestant school students do better than their counterparts in public schools. In addition, Protestant school students excelled more than their...
