Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the current religious situation in the United States of America within its social context. In American society, modern individualism has become the dominant philosophy. On the other hand, there is a strong religious tradition in the U.S.A. in which Protestant sects predominate. The strong influence that many religious groups and organizations still have will be the focus of this paper in which we will be examining a variety of cases.
