Ranking Faiths: Religious Stratification in America discusses how
religion shapes access to power, privilege, and prestige in the
U.S., both historically and today. James D. Davidson and Ralph E.
Pyle dispel the idea that the U.S. was founded on the principle of
religious equality for all, documenting how religion has been a
factor in the allocation of power from the colonial period through
the present. From the time of the earliest settlements in America
through today, the book demonstrates that some religious groups
have had more access to economic, political, and social rewards
than others, and they have benefitted from laws and customs that
have maintained religious inequality over time. While a few
religious groups, such as Catholics and Jews, have experienced
significant upward mobility over time, the social status of most
has remained remarkably static over time. The book shows how
religious inequalities developed, highlight where they remain in
society today, and discuss what Americans can and should do about
it.
