In Changing Faith, Darren E. Sherkat draws on empirical data from large-scale national studies to provide a comprehensive portrait of religious change and its consequences in the United States. With analysis spanning across generations and ethnic groups, the volume traces the evolution of the experience of Protestantism and Catholicism in the United States, the dramatic growth of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, and the rise of non-identification, now the second most common religious affiliation in the country. Drawing on that wealth of data, it details the impact of religious commitments on broad arenas of American social life, including family and sexuality, economic well-being, political commitments, and social values. Exploring religious change among those of European heritage as well as of Eastern and Western European immigrants, African Americans, Asians, Latin Americans, and Native Americans, Changing Faith not only provides a comprehensive and ethnically inclusive demographic overview of the juncture between religion and ethnicity within both the private and public sphere, but also brings empirical analysis back to the sociology of religion. 606 $aIdentification (Religion) 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIdentification (Religion) 676 $a200.973 700 $aSherkat$b Darren E., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01775037 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910903999703321 996 $aChanging Faith$94288855 997 $aUNINA
