Preferred term

Protestants  

Definition

  • Though the United States has explicit rules about the separation of church and state, Protestant Christianity has played, and continues to play, a salient role in the lives of American families. That influence includes both values and behaviors regarding what families should look like (structure) and how their members should interact with each other (process).
