Abstract

This article describes Southern California as a particular setting for the study of religious pluralism and civil society. The region's history of global religious and cultural encounters, lack of a religious establishment, hypermodernity, and fluid identities have all contributed to “pluralism as a culture,†or a style of inter-group interaction and cooperation characterized generally by openness and acceptance. Finally, the author discusses how this culture akin to what is sometimes called “rooted cosmopolitanism†and to core American values and democratic traditions.
