Herberg Sees Religion As Way Of Belonging
Will Herberg of Drew University argues religion serves best without content as a vehicle of belonging in American life. He says Protestants Catholics and Jews form 96 percent of the population and that religion replaces ethnic identity for assimilation. He links modern impersonality to a need for a communal life beyond family and notes the American religion aims for unity in a plural society.
