Talk of religious diversity is often framed around percentages and numbers. Surveys and polls can tell us how many different religions are practiced in the U.S. (a lot) and how many Americans are married to someone of a different religious affiliation (37% according to one Pew Study). But numbers, however important don’t begin to tell us what it actually means to live in a country that’s religiously diverse.

For many Americans, especially those living in urban centers, religious diversity is not just read about, it’s experienced: It’s about seeing a woman in a hijab walking down the street past a Jewish temple — or learning about a Halal Butcher in Queens, in New York City, where Muslim immigrants from places like Bangladesh, and Pakistan and Jordan go to get Halal meat for Qurbani (Eid al Adha).

It isn’t always easy. There are challenges, and people in a diverse society regularly struggle with their own identities. In short, diversity isn’t always simple, or pretty.

So when I had the chance to view “A Son’s Sacrifice,” an independent film about a young man of mixed Puerto Rican-Bangladeshi heritage following in his father’s footsteps as a Halal butcher in New York, I thought, “Yeah, that’s it: That’s what religious diversity actually feels and looks like” — at least in the United States.

I wanted to share that with you and get your feelings on how faith-related issues play out in different societies. So each week of August, join us at “Talking Faith” for a select clip from the award-winning documentary directed by Yoni Brook and co-produced with Musa Syeed.

And we want to know: What does religious diversity look or feel like in your country? And what does it mean to you?
