Religious Minorities (Non-Christians) in American History
Although Christianity has been dominant in the religious history of America, the right to freedom of religious expression has allowed non-Christian faiths, including Judaism, Buddhism and Islam, to develop and thrive in the United States. This learning module will explore the important events, movements, and people who increased the diversity of the American religious landscape.
The ARDA Lesson Plans integrate content from the ARDA and other sources into teachable units. The lessons are designed for courses in a wide range of disciplines, including history, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. This assignment was created for the Association of Religion Data Archives.
