520    The Chance of Salvation offers a history of conversions in
       the United States which shows how religious identity came 
       to be a matter of choice. Shortly after the American 
       Revolution, people in the United States increasingly 
       encountered an expanded array of religious options. 
       Evangelical Protestants began an effort to convert 
       Americans, while developing new practices that emphasized 
       conversion as an immediate choice. Their missionary effort
       extended to Native American nations such as the Cherokee 
       in the Southeast, who received Christianity on their own 
       terms. Enslaved and newly freed African Americans likewise
       created a variety of Christian conversion that was 
       centered on religious hope and eschatological expectation.
       Mormons, drawing on earlier Protestant practices and 
       beliefs, enthusiastically proselytized for a new tradition
       that emphasized individual choice and free will. By 
       uncovering the way that religious identity is structured 
       as an obligatory decision, this book explains why 
       Americans change their religions so much, and why the 
       United States is both highly religious in terms of 
       religious affiliation and very secular in the sense that 
       no religion is an unquestioned default.--|cProvided by
