Note:"Ranking Faiths discusses how religion shapes access to power, privilege, and prestige in the United States, both historically and today. Dispelling the idea that the United States 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 them."--Back cover
