To this day, religion has been a very controversial topic in the United States of America. Since the 1700’s the definition of an American, the importance of religion, and the people of America have changed quite a bit. Today in America, religion plays a key role in society because some of the laws are up to interpretation and can be viewed differently based on people of different religions. Although historically, religion has played a significant role in molding American identity, the shape of our culture has changed in that Americans have had the opportunity to think independently and form their own religious beliefs that have enabled them to create new identities.
