A new issue of Religion and Liberty is out. From Religions, Casey Borch and Matthew West (Alabama) and Gordon Gauchat (UNC): Go Forth and Multiply: Revisiting Religion and Fertility in the United States, 1984-2008; Rebecca Y. Kim (Pepperdine): Religion and Ethnicity: Theoretical Connections; R. Khari Brown (Wayne State): The Connection between Worship Attendance and Racial Segregation Attitudes among White and Black Americans; Stephen M. Merino (PSU): Neighbors Like Me? Religious Affiliation and Neighborhood Racial Preferences among Non-Hispanic Whites; Todd Matthews, Lee Michael Johnson, and Catherine Jenks (West Georgia): Does Religious Involvement Generate or Inhibit Fear of Crime?; Jeanne Halgren (Minnesota): The Park 51/Ground Zero Controversy and Sacred Sites as Contested Space; and Karam Dana (Harvard) and Matt A. Barreto and Kassra A.R. Oskooii (Washington): Mosques as American Institutions: Mosque Attendance, Religiosity and Integration into the Political System among American Muslims. So what if America is the most religious nation? If you compare creed and deed, the claim is hollow.
