Synopsis

A powerful case to embrace a broad view of religion as genuinely religious practices can be found in the unlikeliest of places - science labs, sports games, cinemas and concert. Religion scholar Laderman shows readers how pilgrimages to Graceland, for example, doesn't just seem relious, it is religious and enacts traditional, ritualistic patterns of Christianity. In a dramatic reframing of the sacred and secular, an American landscape blooming with devotions and mytholgies is exposed.
