new religions in the United States  

Definición

  • The United States has provided fertile soil for thousands of new religions, in large part because the constitutional separation of church and state led to a vigorous religious voluntarism that allowed for any religious expression imaginable. Most new religions have roots in older traditions but are new by virtue of unorthodox practices or beliefs, the charisma of a prophet who receives new revelations, or the tension in which they coexist with the dominant society.
