    The religious makeup of 113th century has brought broader changes in American Society.

    American society has become religiously diverse. We can have a look at the statistics gathered by the Pew Forum on Public life and Religion:

    • 56% of the Members are Protestant.

    • 31% of the Members are Catholic

    • 6.2% are Jewish

    • 2.8% are Mormon

    • 3 Members are Buddhist, two are Muslim and one Member is Hindu

    • Other religious affiliations including Orthodox of Greek, Quaker, Unitarian Universalist and Christian Science.

    The majority part except Protestants, is captured by Catholic followed by Jewish. And we know that both of the groups are religiously diverted from each other. Also some parts are taken by Mormon and Buddhist.

    The presence of their leaders shows the presence of that particular community in the country. It means that the religious community people cannot be neglected.
