几乎所有的国家和民族都会受到宗教的影响,又反映出各自特定的文化内容.如果某一民族的人们不了解特定名族的宗教文化因素,则不可能进行有效与顺利的交际.而美国人民所拥有的勤奋刻苦等许多的优秀品质大都得益于贵格会对于他们的影响.基督教（新教）在美国已有300多年历史.1776年美国独立前,基督教（新教）的主要派别均已传入美国,其后迅速发展成为最有影响的宗教.在美国宗教中,基督教（新教）教徒最多,约有1.56亿人,占美国总人口的57%.贵格会是成立于17世纪的英国而后流传到美国.该教会坚决反对奴隶制,在美国南北战争前后的废奴运动中起过重要作用.贵格会在历史上提出过一些很进步的思想,其中一部分现在得到广泛接受.贵格会信徒曾受到英国政府迫害,与清教徒一起移民到美洲,但又受到清教徒的迫害,大批贵格会教徒逃离马萨诸塞州而定居在罗得岛州和宾夕法尼亚州等地.由于宾夕法尼亚州有大量贵格会教徒聚居,习惯上以QuakerCity作为费城(Philadelphia)的别名,因而费城人也被称为Quaker.贵格会后传播到美国、肯尼亚和玻利维亚,现在大约有六十万人.贵格会以费城为中心进行周边学校教堂的传教活动.无神论者由于不相信神灵的存在,不相信人有灵魂,也不相信前世和来世,不相信天堂与地狱的存在.所以他一旦做了坏事,就会认为只要掩盖得好,就谁也不知道,警察也不知道,自己就不会受到惩罚.而有宗教信仰的人相信全能的神的存在,只要自己做了坏事,人不会知道,但神是全能的,逃脱不了神的眼睛,就会受到神的惩罚,死后灵魂就会下地狱受苦受难,来世变畜生等.因此他会对自己做的坏事产生罪恶感和恐惧感.深入了解和研究贵格会对于美国人民的影响,从而得出文化信仰对于人的影响是潜移默化的.从宗教文化角度对美国人民性格的了解能够促进跨文化的交Almostallcountriesandpeopleswillbereligiousinfluence,andreflecttheculturalcontentspecific.Ifanationofpeopledonotunderstandthespecificnationsarenotreligiousandculturalfactors,effectiveandsmoothmaycommunicate.AndtheAmericanpeoplehaveasmanydiligencetheexcellentqualityofmostlybenefitedfromQuakerfortheirinfluence.Christian(protestant)intheUnitedStateshasabout300yearsofhistory.Americanindependencein1776,Christian(beforethemainfactionsprotestant)introducedintotheUnitedStatesarealready,followedbyrapiddevelopmenthasbecomethemostinfluencereligion.Religion:ChristianityintheUnitedStates,mostchristians(protestant)about1.56billion,accountingfor57percentoftheU.S.population.Gregwillbeestablishedin17thcenturyBritainandthenspreadtotheUnitedStates.ThechurchintheUnitedStates,firmlyopposedtoslaverybeforeandafterthecivilwarintheabolitionmovementhasplayedanimportantrole.Quakerinhistoryhavepresentedsomeveryprogressiveideas,partofthewidelyacceptednow.QuakerbelievershadreceivedtheBritishgovernmentpersecution,andpilgrimsimmigratedintoAmerica,butalsobythepersecutionofthepuritans,QuakerchristiansescapefromMassachusettsandsettledinRhodeIslandandPennsylvania,etc.BecauseofPennsylvaniahasalargeMuslimenclavesQuaker,thecustomQuakerCityinPhiladelphia)asPhiladelphia(alias,andPhiladelphiaalsocalledQuaker.GregspreadtotheUnitedStatesafter,KenyaandBolivia,nowisaboutsixtymillionpeople.GregforcenterinPhiladelphiachurchmissionaryactivitiesaroundtheschool.Atheistsbecausedon'tbelievetheexistenceofgods,donotbelievethatmanhasasoul,alsodon'tbelievethatpastandtheafterlife,don'tbelieveintheexistenceofheavenandhell.Sooncehedidsomethingbad,hewouldthinkjustcoverupwell,hewhodon'tknow,thepolicealsodon'tknowthatIwouldnotbepunished.Butreligiouspeoplebelievethatthealmightygodexists,aslongastheirdidsomethingbad,peopledon'tknow,butgodisomnipotent,neverescapetheeyeofgod,willbegod'spunishment,deadsoulswouldbehellaftersuffering,afterlifebecomebeast,etc.Sohe'lldobadguiltandfear.UnderstandandstudyfortheAmericanpeopleQuaker,concludedthattheinfluenceofcultural.
