| Résumé: | Observations of group life in America have led students of assimilation to argue that large numbers of people continue to interact mainly along religious lines even though their cultural differences are minor. Gordon has hypothesized that many intellectuals, among whom academics are numerically the most important group, are not oriented toward the religious group in interaction or identification, but instead live in a milieu largely free of such structural cleavages. This hypothesis was put to test on samples of Protestant and Mormon academics and non-academics. Results were in support of the hypothesis. Academics with Protestant backgrounds in the humanities and social sciences were in particular weak in religious communality. |
