From the spiritual beliefs and practices of American Indians to the arrival of colonists who brought with them their own religions, the United States has been characterized by religious diversity and change - change that has been supported by the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees everyone the right to practice their own religion. "Religion in America" traces this development of religion in the United States throughout American history - from colonial days to the present. From the religions of indigenous populations to the religious developments of the 21st century, such religions as Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, and many more have made a lasting impression on the people and culture of the United States.
