Riassunto

Sex abuse happens in all communities, but American minority religions often face disproportionate allegations of sexual abuse. Why, in a country that consistently fails to acknowledge&#8212;much less address&#8212;the sexual abuse of women and children, do American religious outsiders so often face allegations of sexual misconduct?&#160; Why does the American public presume to know &#8220;what&#8217;s really going on&#8221; in minority religious communities?&#160; Why are sex abuse allegations such an effective way to discredit people on America&#8217;s religious margins? What makes Americans so willing, so eager to identify religion as the cause of sex abuse? <i>Abusing Religion</i> argues that sex abuse in minority religious communities is an American problem, not (merely) a religious one.<br> &#160;
