- Summary:
- "This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the religious landscape in the United States, tracing the historical evolution, demographic trends, and future prospects of various religious groups. Covering traditions such as evangelicals, mainline Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, and the growing demographic of the religiously unaffiliated (atheist/agnostic and “nothing in particular”), the book delves into the unique challenges and opportunities each group faces. Special attention is given to the influence of immigration, cultural adaptation, and the rising secularism within American society. Using data-driven insights from sources like the General Social Survey and the Religion Census, the book presents a detailed picture of how religion shapes, and is shaped by, broader societal changes. The book concludes by exploring the potential future trajectories of American religion, considering factors such as generational shifts, changing religious affiliations, and the impact of social and political trends" -- Provided by publisher
