When One Religion Isn't Enough |
October 15, 2019 |

While a growing number of Americans are moving away from religion, for some people, one religion isn’t enough. A new book details the lives of the "spiritually fluid," those who practice more than one religion at the same time. Author Duane Bidwell is a professor of practical theology, spiritual care, and counseling at the Claremont School of Theology in California. He's also a Presbyterian minister with a robust Buddhist practice. Bidwell says he wrote When One Religion Isn't Enough to help other spiritually fluid people realize that there are more them than they might think.

Are you a Sunday Stalwart or a Religion Resister? The Pew Research Center has developed a way to categorize religious practice that goes beyond affiliation with specific traditions. The Religious Typology study doesn’t ask if a respondent is Christian, Muslim, Jewish, atheist, etc. Rather, it groups people by the ways in which they practice spirituality (or don’t). Becka Alper, lead author of this survey, spoke to us about what these new groupings can reveal about America’s religious landscape.
