520 |a This article aims to contribute to paradigmatic reflection in U.S. sociology of religion. Analysis of 40 years of articles in U.S. sociology of religion journals shows an increasing trend toward portraying religion as an independent variable as well as in normative, especially positive terms. The data also show a surprising lack of diversification in the subdiscipline. Research on the United States, Christianity, and most specifically Protestantism still dominate sociology journal publications on religion. The analysis suggests there is a significant relationship between portrayals of religion as an independent variable and research on Christianity, but not between portrayals of religion as an independent variable and research on the United States. It does not find a significant relationship between positive evaluations of religion and research on Christianity or the United States.
