Social Reproduction and Religious Stratification
Most sociologists agree that religious stratification was a prominent feature of the religious landscape in the thirteen original colonies. Although most also acknowledge that some religious groups still rank higher than others in socioeconomic status, they argue that these differences are smaller than they used to be and are getting smaller all the time (Park and Reimer 2002; Wuthnow 1988). To be sure, there are theoretical and conceptual differ…
Religion and Inequality in America
Despite the growing quantity and quality of research connecting religion to inequality, no single volume to date brings together key figures to discuss various components of this process. This volume aims to fill this gap with contributions from top scholars in the fields of religion and sociology. The essays in this volume provide important new details about how and why religion and inequality are related by focusing on new indicators of inequal…
Ranking Faiths
Ranking Faiths: Religious Stratification in America discusses how religion shapes access to power, privilege, and prestige in the U.S., both historically and today. James D. Davidson and Ralph E. Pyle dispel the idea that the U.S. was founded on the principle of religious equality for all, documenting how religion has been a factor in the allocation of power from the colonial period through the present. From the time of the earliest settlements i…
Trends in Religious Stratification
This study examines the degree to which religious group socioeconomic differences have declined during the period from 1972–2000. There has been some debate in the literature regarding the blurring of religious group socioeconomic distinctions, and this paper will outline the conflicting positions on this issue. An analysis of national survey data reveals some improvement in the relative socioeconomic positioning of Black and Conservative Protest…
An Exception to the Exception
First-generation Korean Americans are characterized by nearly universal church membership and the highest levels of Protestant affiliation of all immigrant groups. However, most second-generation Korean Americans are not church members, and their departure from their parents’ immigrant churches has been referred to as a “silent exodus”. Various studies anecdotally propose reasons for the second-generation departure, yet no in-depth analysis has e…
The Origins of Religious Stratification in Colonial America
Religious stratification occurs when religion is institutionalized in the laws and/or customs of society as a criterion for the allocation of social positions and their attendant rewards. The result is a relatively stable ranking of religious groups in terms of their access to power, privilege, and prestige. In this article, we examine the social processes that contributed to the emergence of religious stratification in colonial America. Followin…
The Religious Affiliations of American Elites, 1930S to 1990S
This paper tests the “disestablishment thesis” that America's Protestant Establishment has declined over the course of the century, especially in the last 30 years. Using Who's Who data from 1930, 1950, 1970, and 1992, we examine the religious affiliations of American elites, and the extent to which religious groups are over- or under-represented among elites relative to their numbers in the total U.S. population. Results support claims that the …

Persistence and Change in the Protestant Establishment
Here, sociologist Ralph Pyle investigates the extent to which a male-dominated, Ivy League educated Protestant establishment in the United States since World War II has given way to an elite whose diversity is more representative of the general population. While there is evidence that major changes have diminished the social, political, and economic prerogatives of the traditional Protestant establishment, the author finds that those in command p…
