Ranking Faiths Religious Stratification in

Ranking Faiths: Religious Stratification in America discusses how religion shapes access to power, privilege, and prestige in the U.S., both historically and today. Dispelling the idea that the U.S. was founded on the principle of religious equality for all, the authors show how religious inequalities developed, where they remain in society today, and what Americans can and should do about it.

James D. Davidson is emeritus professor of sociology at Purdue University. He is the author or coauthor of several books, including American Catholics Today. Ralph E. Pyle teaches in the sociology department at Michigan State University.
