I thought of this recently and from observations this sounds it could be true, or maybe a preference I've developed or maybe I'm wrong. Are Baptists women more family oriented and with stronger morals and values than Catholics? I'll leave it to you to spin into details. I grew up in NJ where we have both but when I go south a lot I see a difference and when I went into it, I noticed the religion is a bit different.
LOL I'd say this idea is utter nonsense. It's stigmatizing an entire group based on ... nothing! It's really based on the individual person and how they behave, and that can be independent of faith, religion - or absence thereof.
I dated many Catholic girls, some Baptist ladies, and was married to a Baptist. even with direct experience, I'd hesitate to make any kind of generalization.

Which ones had tighter values? Did the Baptist divorce with hesitation?
no, I don't want to get into religion, just other people's experiences.
You realize that people are more than the sum of their religion and that people of all religions, or the non-religious, can share similar or differing viewpoints and ways of living?
How do other people's experiences impact your life that you need to know this? I feel this is just another thread with a veiled attempt to put certain women down, this time by religious affiliation.
I would consider extreme adherents to any religion to be bad partners. At least Catholics don't try to ban drinking and dancing, though, so I give them an edge over Baptists.
Really bizarre, by the way, that you lump Baptists together with mainline Protestants, and Catholics together with "less religious." Many Catholics are very religious, and some mainline Protestant denominations (like Episcopalians and Lutherans) are much more similar to Catholics than they are to Baptists.
I guess it depends on YOUR values and how they mesh with the INDIVIDUAL person's values. In my experience, some follow their religion's teachings strictly, and some are far more flexible - or even reject some teachings as wrong (religious morals can be unethical in a wider perspective, and some people recognize that and prefer to take the less harmful position).
One need only look at Westboro Baptist Church members to see that some members of a particular religion can promote hate and act in an un-Christian manner.
