God in America: A New Adam (1) and A New Eden (2) : A New Adam explores the origins of Christian religion in America and examines how the New World changed the faiths that the settlers brought with them. A New Eden explores how an unlikely alliance between evangelical Baptists and enlightenment figures such as Thomas Jefferson served as the foundation of American religious liberty.

God in America: A Nation Reborn (3) and A New Light (4): During the 19th century, the forces of modernity challenged traditional faith and drove a wedge between liberal and conservative believers. "A Nation Reborn" explores slavery, and how it splits the nation as abolitionists and slaveholders find justification in the Bible. Frederick Douglass condemns Christianity; President Lincoln struggles to make sense of the war's carnage and the death of his young son. Lincoln, who previously had favored reason over revelation, embarks on a spiritual journey that transforms his ideas about God and the Civil War's ultimate meaning. "A New Light" explores the intellectual and cultural conflicts between traditional religious beliefs and the forces of modernity, which reached a crescendo in the 1925 trial of John Scopes, a Tennessee teacher arrested for teaching evolution.

God in America: Soul of a Nation (5) and Of God and Caesar (6): "Soul of a Nation" explores the post-World War II era, when rising evangelist, Billy Graham, tried to inspire a religious revival that fused faith with patriotism in a Cold War battle with "Godless Communism." As Americans flocked in record numbers to houses of worship, non-believers and religious minorities appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to test the constitutionality of religious expression in public schools. Civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. emerged as a modern-day prophet calling upon the nation to honor both biblical teachings and the founders' democratic ideals of equal justice. "Of God and Caesar" explores the religious and political aspirations of conservative evangelicals' moral crusade over divisive social issues such as abortion and gay marriage. Across America, the religious marketplace expanded as new waves of immigrants from Asia, the Middle East and Latin America made the United States the most religiously diverse nation. The 2008 presidential election brought the re-emergence of a religious voice in the Democratic Party, bringing the country to a new plateau in its struggle to reconcile faith with politics. The 6-hour series closes with reflections on the role of faith in the public life of the country.

Este documental, parte de la serie American Experience (1987), examina los eventos que llevaron al momento definitorio en el establecimiento del movimiento de derechos gay en Estados Unidos: los disturbios en el Stonewall Inn en la ciudad de Nueva York en el verano de 1969. En ese momento, la homosexualidad no solo era ilegal, sino que también se clasificaba como enfermedad mental. Bares como Stonewall estaban controlados por la mafia y la policía recibía sobornos para hacer la vista gorda o realizar sus redadas temprano en el día. Sin embargo, esa noche la policía llegó cuando el bar estaba lleno. La reacción fue rápida y se formaron rápidamente multitudes fuera del bar.
