How a Christian Country Has Become the World's Most Religiously Diverse Nation

A New Religious America

fc373122-0525-42e0-a378-5b48eb9752cd-1

Diana Eck--the leading world religions professor and advocate of religious tolerance and diversity--reveals that the world religions Americans think of as being on the other side of the world are now right around the corner, all over America. American Muslims, for instance, are fast outnumbering the members of several major Christian denominations and even American Jews, and there are second and third generation Buddhists and Hindus attending colleges and universities and taking crucial roles in business and community life, throughout the United States.

Eck traces the history of freedom of religion in this country and highlights the challenges posed by intolerance and hatred, prayer in schools, printing of the 10 commandments, and hate crimes have to be totally recast in our new American landscape. This increasing religious diversity is becoming more important than racial, ethnic, or nationalistic ties, and can be a source of great social and cultural strength.
