REL 205 - Religion and American Culture

3 CR

The United State is a secular country that holds strongly to the ideal of separation between church and state. At the same time, religion plays a highly influential role in politics, nationalism, popular culture, and ethnic relations in American society. In this course, we explore this unique tension between secular ideals and religious values, using social scientific theories to explore how religion is defined and expressed in the American cultural context. (This course is cross listed with AME 205  and SSC 205 .)
