The End of White Christian America by Robert P. Jones
4.0
The End of White Christian America is truly an informative read. The title sounds controversial, but the book actually takes a very objective, fact-based and stats-based look at the shifting demographics of America as well as the increasing number of young people, particularly young white people, that are a part of a steadily growing trend of religious disaffiliation in a America. This trend is having a profound effect on America's culture and has caused the culture wars to become more and more explosive.
Jones also does a wonderful job exploring the history of race in America and highlighting the correlation between racism--as well as those who are complicit when it comes to racism (passive observers)--and certain sects of Christianity, particularly white evangelical Christians.
I highly recommend this book to those that are interested in the this topic or for those who wonder how America has gotten to this very contentious point in time.
