520 _aWhile rejecting traditional worship in unprecedented numbers, today's Americans are embracing a kaleidoscopic panoply of spiritual traditions, rituals, and subcultures. As consumer capitalism threatens to turn spirituality into a lifestyle brand, Burton shows that faith is experiencing not a decline but a Renaissance. More and more Americans are seeking out spiritual paths driven by intuition, not institutions. She visits techno-utopians of Silicon Valley; witches from Bushwick; wellness junkies and social justice activists, to show that Americans are not abandoning religion but remixing it: finding meaning, purpose, ritual, and communities in ever-newer, ever-stranger ways. -- adapted from jacket.
