It's not just higher than atheists, it's higher than for other believers too. When I was living in Belfast the local Humanist group organized a debate about marriage without god. One of the Humanist debating squad was happy to roll out the data in an article with the headline 'Bible belt leads US in divorce rate'. Born-agains are less capable of maintaining a stable marriage than just about anyone.
