I've tried to post another essay by Athena Yang that might be easier to understand, but it's "forbidden." Google her with "piety and the American character". Basically, it's an idea that has it's origins in early American colonies and contends that each person can have a relationship with God and doesn't need the organized church to mitigate. Each person can decide for him/herself when moral questions arise and doesn't need an organized church to tell him or her what to think.
