Excited to have this article out in the world. Hopefully our framework helps scholars name and study more of what’s happening in contemporary US religion.

IT'S ALIVE! Brainstorming, discussing, writing, and re-writing this piece on the "unbundling" of American religion with @ruthbraunstein.bsky.social, @jlkucinskas.bsky.social, and @bsteens.bsky.social was the most enjoyable part of the process, but it's gratifying to see it officially "out" in ASR.

Our take on how to characterize, and study, what’s happening in US religion right now. Feels almost wrong that writing a paper with these folks was so much fun.

This is a great program, one open to folks in both the social sciences and humanities. The cohorts really do come together as a scholarly and supportive community and the leaders are exceptional.

Interesting commonalities w/Western patterns: intergenerational fading, time squeeze, changing family structure, and negative associations w/ religion. Yet non-affiliates still mix and match traditional elements.

Happy to share my research on religious parenting and choice in this keynote panel at the annual Episcopal Parish Network meeting.
