In terms of the religiosity of its citizens, the United States is more comparable to less-developed countries than to other industrialized nations. What may account for this discrepancy?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Explain that overall, Americans are far more religious than other wealthy, industrialized states.
2, Discuss how the general pattern around the globe is that as states become wealthier, more developed, and more industrialized, the importance of religion lessens.
3, Explain how the diversity of religious denominations may in part account for why the United States bucks that trend. It draws attention to religion while offering a plethora of specific niches to fill a variety of spiritual needs.
