Future of Religion: A Survey of Religious Views in a Mid-sized Southern Town

Abstract

Based on the theoretical predictions that the American faith tends to become less doctrinaire and more spiritual, this survey will analyze the opinions of church leaders and members in 15 churches, chosen from among 117 churches, in a mid-sized south-eastern American city. The selection has been based on their representativeness of the religious diversity in the town. The main thrust of the research will be opinions concerning three interrelated maters: the role and challenges of religion, relationships (of comity and cooperation) among churches, and views on the future of religiosity.
