review 1: Detailed look at where Americans are with religion. Younger Americans are more liberal than their elders on every salient issue with the exception of abortion. Religious tolerance a high value with Americans because of the high degree of religious mixing in our social networks. The authors combined quantitative with qualitative studies of specific congregations for a great synopsis of our times. I only wish they had interviewed some "nones", the nonreligious.
review 2: I only read half of it because I had to return it to the library and moved on. What I did read was very interesting. It was a good read in the sense that it was written well but it was chock full of information that was difficult to shift through. The graphs were helpful and often I skipped t... morehe paragraphs describing the graphs.I learned a lot about the trends of Religion in America which seemed to be the point of the book. less
