"Pretty much like the rest of the country, only more so." This quip
from Wallace Stegner well-represents the Pacific region's religious
culture. California, Nevada, and Hawaii emerged more recently, more
quickly and with more diversity and fluidity than the other United
States. Although influenced by Mexican Catholicism, Native
Traditions, Asian Religions, and Euro-American Christianity, no
religious tradition dominates, and a secular ethos usually reigns.
But this very religious indifference makes California and the rest
of the region open to all sorts of missionary movements and
religious innovations. New organizational forms, new spiritual
therapies, and new religious hybrids all compete for residents'
attention along with secular ways for making meaning. With all
these options, residents of the region mix, match, and move between
religious identities more than other Americans. Without ignoring
its diversity, Religion and Public Life in the Pacific Region
highlights the key aspects of the region's fluctuating religions
and its spirituality's impact on political life.
