%X This exploratory study compares the entrepreneurial tendency and family income across religious denominations in the United States.£¿ Information from the General Social Survey (GSS) database on self-employed and a matched sample of those employed by others is used to compare the family income and incidence of entrepreneurship by religion.£¿ We show that Protestants are more likely to be self-employed than Catholics, although both are less likely than those that are not religious or Jews.£¿ Religious affiliation has a mixed result on income, although increased attendance at religious services increases income for those employed by others.
