Religion in Postwar America

Religion in postwar America experienced significant growth and diversification. After World War II, many Americans turned to faith for comfort and stability amid rapid social change. The rise of evangelical Christianity, especially through televangelism, increased religious influence in public life. Meanwhile, the Civil Rights Movement and social upheavals prompted some to question traditional beliefs, leading to both renewed faith and new spiritual movements. Overall, religion remained central to American identity, shaping cultural values and community connections during this transformative period.
