520    From the pulpits to the op-ed pages, several messages 
       about religion in the U.S. are heard again and again: It's
       said that Americans are flocking to churches and other 
       religious institutions in greater numbers than ever before,
       that non-Christian faiths are growing rapidly, and that a 
       new religious fervor among the young is filling up the 
       pews. All of these frequently heard messages are incorrect,
       according to this book. The book, by professors Barry A. 
       Kosmin and Ariela Keysar of Trinity College in Hartford, 
       Conn., is based on a major national survey which they 
       conducted. The U.S. Census is prohibited from asking 
       questions about religion, so this survey, the American 
       Religious Identification Survey, contains the most 
       complete and reliable source of data on religion in 
       America today. This book argues that religion in America 
       can best be understood as a product on offer in the 
       marketplace of ideas. It says that "religious ferment in 
       America is as strong as it has ever been, so whatever you 
       learned about religion in the U.S. a generation ago is out
       of date."
