Religion's Influence

Authors argue that religion has a good influence in America. Research has shown that America's diversity and devoutness makes the country more tolerant of other beliefs. For example, because American's are able to switch their religions with such ease, many families consist of several religions within the family. Also, Americans don't think that their friends and family members are damned if they are of other religions. America is far more religious than any other country. Researchers argue that religion produces practical benefits for Americans. Religious people are more likely to do good deeds such as volunteer work, blood donations, etc.
