Factors that affected American religion.

Explanation:

Prior to the advent of urban transformation, the New Immigration, and cultural and intellectual changes, the American Protestant church was one of the biggest religious group in the U. S. It had great influence both in the social and moral lives of the people.

However, with the growth of urban cities and the growing population of people, it created many obstacles for the Protestant church. The increasing need to achieve economic stability made people become too concerned with materialistic objects in life. People from different regions and cultures flocked to U. S in order to achieve this economic purpose. The country became more diverse and pluralistic.

With cultural and intellectual changes, there was a new generation of liberal Protestants. Liberal ideas began to dominate the American society. Liberal Protestants adapted more modern religious ideas and they sought to strike a distinction between labor and capital, science and faith, religious and secular values.

The Roman Catholic and Jewish faiths were also strengthening with the influx of immigration from Europe to the U. S. By this time, the country had multiple sects of religious groups. Thus, mixing the traditional American faith with many other faiths.
