- Includes discussion of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, political affiliations, and other elements of individual and collective identity
- Incorporates recent scholarship for a nuanced history that goes beyond simple explanations of America as a Protestant society
- Discusses diverse beliefs and practices that originated in the Americas as well as those that came from Europe, Asia, and Africa
