Viac o knihe

The paper explores the strikingly high levels of religiosity in the United States compared to other Western nations, attributing this phenomenon to its unique history as an immigration hub and the role of religions and churches in shaping community identity. It contrasts the U.S. with France, Germany, and Turkey, highlighting both similarities and significant differences. The focus is on the often negative impacts of a strong religious presence on various societal aspects, including education, science, politics, and ethics, alongside potential solutions and future perspectives.
