Abstract
Abstract The conclusion covers the narrative about God-optional religion from the late 1960s up through 2020. It also considers the impact of God-optional ideas on other religious communities beyond Quakerism, Reconstructionist Judaism, and Unitarianism. As God-optional ideas are now found among mainline Protestants, evangelicals, Reform Jews, Buddhists, and in a host of other groups, the conclusion argues that God-optional ideas have become relatively common in the United States. It further argues that God-optional beliefs may be as resistant to secularization as more theologically conservative religious beliefs are. Finally, the conclusion suggests that beliefs about God may be becoming more open and permissive in the United States.
