It lays out the broad trends of the past fifty years, assesses their sociological causes, and then does a bit of fortune-telling\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnique among nations, America is deeply religious, religiously diverse, and remarkably tolerant. In recent decades, however, the nation's religious landscape has undergone several seismic shocks. \u003ci\u003eAmerican Grace \u003c\/i\u003eis an authoritative, fascinating examination of what precipitated these changes and the role that religion plays in contemporary American society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough there is growing polarization between religious conservatives and secular liberals today, at the same time personal interfaith ties are strengthening. Interfaith marriage has increased, and religious identities have become more fluid. More people than ever are friendly with someone of a different faith or no faith at all. Putnam and Campbell show how this denser web of personal ties brings greater interfaith tolerance, despite the so-called culture wars. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on two of the most comprehensive surveys ever conducted on religion and public life in America (and with a new epilogue based on a third survey), \u003ci\u003eAmerican Grace \u003c\/i\u003eis an indispensable book about American religious life, essential for understanding our nation today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-276684\"\u003eRobert D.
