520 |a This article examines the premise that denominationalism in America must continue because a "critical number" of denominations must exist in order to meet the diverse spiritual, emotional, psychological, and social needs of a pluralistic society.

It is argued that an excessive number of mergers leads to too little diversity in the religious "products" being offered, while too many schisms results in religious organizations duplicating services. Thus, as long as religious freedom exists in America, the diversity of religious products will also persist.
