I'd get a lot out of a history of religion in America also. What I know is just picked up from my general reading, which I tend to remember because I am obsessed.

Any suggestions? On Catholicism I like "Eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven" by Uta Ranke-Heinemann, which is about the Church and its views of women and sexuality across history, but it's not about the US specifically.
