The Routledge Handbook of Religion and American Culture explains where religion is made in the United States.

These sites organize the volume’s 31 chapters, demonstrating how cultural religion has been constructed and performed in specific historical and ethnographic case studies. This volume offers a much-needed resource for Religious Studies scholars and students interested in the study of religion and culture in the United States, as well as those in American Studies, Anthropology of Religion, Sociology of Religion, Material Culture Studies, Environmental Studies, and History.
