Why Understanding America's Religious Landscape Is the Most Important Challenge Facing Us Today

  • There are presently more than three hundred temples in Los Angeles, home to the greatest variety of Buddhists in the world.
  • There are more American Muslims than there are American Episcopalians, Jews, or Presbyterians.
