Purpose -- Conservative Protestantism is conceptualized as a cultural framework influencing class formation and transmission in the United States. Design/Methodology/Approach -- The framework is tested using Public-Use Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), Waves I, III, and IV. Four key outcomes -- educational attainment, earnings, marriage, and parenting -- are modeled as functions of class background and religious affiliation, controlling for other factors. Findings -- Religious affiliation and their effects on the normative pathways to adulthood help explain differential social mobility and the imperfect transmission of social class across generations. Religious culture plays an independent role in producing lower adult attainment via the life choices of conservative Protestant youth during the transition to adulthood.
