    What to include in a presentation about religion in the US?
    I am in high school. I am supposed to make a 15 minute presentation about religion in the United States. Since this is such a complex topic and I only have little time, I have to pick out the most important things, however I don't quite know what these could be...

    I already have:
    - history
    - separation of church and state (Bill of Rights, 1st Amendment)
    - religion being very important and God appearing in many official documents and ceremonies (In God We Trust, Pledge of Allegiance, swearing on a Bible, etc. Etc.)
    - the character of religion in the US
    - regions (Bible Belt, Unchurched Belt, Jell-O Belt)
    - a graph of the population's religious preference
    - Protestants in the US
    - Catholics in the US
    - Jews in the US
    - Oriental religions in the US

    I have no idea what else I could add. I would really appreciate suggestions or hear what you guys think is important. It would help me immensely.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    How did religion help form the nation, what religious issues helped move people to the US.

    What religious abuses and discrimination was there during the revolution, or various wars.
