520 |a This book definitely tells us what Rodney Stark and his team of 18 acolytes/contributors at the Institute for the Study of Religion at Baylor believe. But it is open to question if it tells us what Americans really believe. This strange volume is built around 23 short essays each on a theme seemingly chosen in order to refute supposed myths and misperceptions held by “avid listeners of National Public radio” (28) that were created by “experts based in the elite, very liberal divinity schools” (4) and various misguided sociologists. The tone is self-congratulatory particularly where data and insights are offered into areas of religion and faith that have been “overlooked, ignored and rejected” by other scholars.
