Why, in a country that consistently fails to acknowledge?much less address?the sexual abuse of women and children, do American religious outsiders so often face allegations of sexual misconduct? Why does the American public presume to know ?what?s really going on? in minority religious communities? Why are sex abuse allegations such an effective way to discredit people on America?s religious margins? What makes Americans so willing, so eager to identify religion as the cause of sex abuse? Abusing Religion argues that sex abuse in minority religious communities is an American problem, not (merely) a religious one. 606 $aSex crimes$xReligious aspects$xPublic opinion 606 $aAmericans$xPublic opinion 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 610 $areligion, sex scandal, american minority religion, american religion, Mormon, Latter Day Saints, Islam, Islamic, Muslim, sex abuse, religious leaders, Catholic, Catholic church, Catholicism, Christian, Christianity, Islamophobia, American Islam, Zion. 615 0$aSex crimes$xReligious aspects$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aAmericans$xPublic opinion. 676 $a201/.764 686 $aBE 1560$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aGoodwin$b Megan$01703493 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817180803321 996 $aAbusing religion$94088726 997 $aUNINA
