Abandonment by Father Before Age 6, Atheism Negatively Correlated

 
The abandonment of a father before adulthood was not found to be general cause of atheism. Although a few positive correlations exist (with Anglo-Europeans, Australasian-others and those raised-Catholic when the abandonment occurred between 7 and 12, and among Australasians-others if it occurred in the teenage years) this was certainly not a widespread correlations across most lines of analysis.

There was however, a positive correlation between atheism and being abandoned as an adult. This was true among Females, Australasian-others, 
the younger generation group, the older generation group and the less-so-educated. 

A much more valid can be made that abandonment of a father,
before age 6 makes atheism less likely. 

Males, Females, Anglo-Europeans,
people in the older generation group, 
Less-so educated, More-so Educated,
and those raised atheists groups were less likely to be atheists
if they had been abandoned by their fathers before age 6. 

"PA Pre-6" stands Paternal Abandonment before age 6.
