But as Diane Eck shows in A New Religious America, the U.S. is now the world's most religiously diverse nation. This diversity can be traced back to 1965, when Lyndon Johnson signed a new immigration law that led to a significant surge of immigrants. As a result, Muslims in America now outnumber Jews, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians.
