Religious Communality Among White Protestants, Catholics, and Mormons

Theoretical discussions of religious communality in America have received scant attention in empirical research in regard to white Protestants and Catholics. The notion of a multiple melting pot with religious boundaries has not yet been corroborated for the two major religious faiths. This paper attempts to contribute to the empirical literature on the subject of white Protestant and Catholic communality, and introduces the problem of communality as it relates to Mormons. A survey of three cities revealed that substantial segments of each faith were highly involved in their respective socioreligious communities.
