Fagan's WebMemo on the detrimental impacts resulting from the deterioration of the family and the "Culture of Rejection and Alienation" cites NLSY79 data to show that "religious worship by men in their twenties has quite an impact on their capacity to sustain their own virginity." Additionally, NLSY79 data is used to support a correlation between young men's church attendance and income levels achieved later in life. Fagan concludes that "the highest income group consisted of young men who were raised in intact families that worshipped weekly."
