| Summary: | Drawing primarily on the results of the Gallup survey which was conducted in 1984 as part of the Religion and Television project, this article considers the question of whether or not religious television furthers the privatization that is allegedly characteristic of American religion. Finding only qualified support for this thesis, an alternative framework is proposed which emphasizes social cleavages in American religion. Much of the data seems to indicate that religious television viewing falls along the lines of broader cleavages in American religion and reinforces the strength of these divisions. |
