This course offers an historical examination of some of the various expressions of religious belief and practice in American culture. It focuses on the creation of the Protestant establishment in the colonial period and the challenges posed to that establishment by democracy, science, multiple competing cultures, and even the mainstream of American culture.

This syllabus was created for the Young Scholars in American Religion program.
