ABSTRACT
Building on the previous chapter, Chapter 6 discusses the sensitivity of race and religion (and their intersection) in Georgia and the American South. Through our interviews, we asked participants about racial differences, and historical and contemporary tensions. We also asked them if they felt that a conversation on religious literacy could be an entry point into the more controversial conversation of racism in Georgia. More specifically, the chapter examines ways to improve and increase discussion of African-American religious traditions, and the relationship between conservative White evangelical Christian traditions and racism.
