      Only a small percentage of theoconservatives bother to live a strict Biblical lifestyle (Barna 2003), half their marriages fail, and although polls show that the theoconservative third of the population disapproves of premarital sex, surveys reveal that more than eight in ten theoconservatives engage in it (Finer 2007).
