This course explores the various religions present in our pluralistic society, and how they coexist in American culture. This course explores the Judeo-Christian foundation of American religion as well as the many other traditions that influence the landscape like Islam, Mormonism, New Religious Movements, and New Age.

The course pays particular attention to the generational shifts among religious preference, including dwindling numbers among Catholics and Mainline Christians the exponential growth of evangelicalism.

Over 20 lectures and 1.5 hours of content!
Understand how American religion evolved from the Civil War to the Present
See how American religion intersects with American politics, history, and culture
