The influence of religion as an agent of socialization varies widely. Although most Americans identify with some organized religion, fewer than half typically attend religious services at some time during the week. Of those who do, however, many bring their children to religion classes, and some children attend religious rather than public schools. Among people who are religious, religion is a

powerful agent of socialization because it specifies what is right and what is wrong. Moreover, in religious families, religion and the family frequently (though not always) give similar messages. Religion is an important influence on the values and beliefs of the parents, who join with it to pass those on to their children.

a. Fewer than half of the people who say they belong to a religious group attend services regularly.
b. To religious families, religion is an important influence on the values and beliefs of the family—passed from parents to children.
c. Each religious group has its own special set of religious values and beliefs to give their children.
d. Most religious families send their children to religious rather than public schools.
