"As most everyone has heard, immigration is profoundly changing the contours of religion in America. Hundreds of thousands of people, most of them from what used to be known as the Third World (relatively few from Europe), stream into the country every year, bringing their religious identities with them....Some are adherents of other great world religions (including Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism). A larger number profess no religion. A few practice indigenous religions. But most are Christian. This means that the new immigrants represent not the de-Christianization of American society but the de-Europeanization of American Christianity." (CHRISTIAN CENTURY) This article describes how "the new immigration is bringing about not so much a new diversity among American religions as diversity within America's majority religion."
