process, American Protestant groups were divided into two sides and carried out different measures. The liberals chose the “interfaith cooperation”to accept the differences between various religions while the conservative s kept on the “exclusion movement”to limit the development of the non-Protestant religions. As the Catholics and the Jews had their own power that could not be ignored, the “interfaith cooperation” advocated by liberal Protestants were realized. In the 1950s, Protestant ism, Catholic ism and Judaism shared American mainstream status, which symbolized the end of the Protestant era in this country. The 5th chapter explores the present stage of the American religious Pluralism and reviews the whole process of its religious Pluralism. Protestant ism, Catholicism and Judaism dominated American mainstream is not the end of the religious Pluralism but a new beginning, as the Catholic church and the Jewish church are two demonstrations for other non-mainstream religions. In the 20th century, many immigrants were from non-European areas and brought new religions to America. These new religions also found their position there and continuously promoted American religious Pluralism to fade the gap between the mainstream groups and the non-mainstream groups. In the whole process of the American religious Pluralism, more and more groups come to this new land to enrich its culture that shared by the nation. American religious Pluralism is the result of its immigration character, the choice of its democracy system and the process of its religious secularism. Today people with different believe s are sharing the common American value and prosperity.
