Here's the deal: (stats question, not my question) In 1965 35% of those polled thought cohabitation was NOT a sin. In 2000 83% of those polled thought cohabitation was NOT a sin. So. Sum up? What is the significance beyond 'more people today are tolerant of cohabitation'---?????

Maybe they polled more people who were actually cohabitating in 2000 because those who believed in cohabitation in 1965 might have kept it hidden whereas now it's not taboo. Those who do cohabitate would be more tolerant of it. Not trying to be facetious, it just sounds that way.
