- About the series: Babel: The Urge to Pray: Religion is something that has inflamed the United States of America for almost their entire history. New York is not just a multi ethnic, dynamic, consumer-driven metropolis but also a ’Babel’ full of enclaves, mainly faith based. For many people in the city, religion represents a source of community and intimacy with their fellows and at the same time an element of separation from the rest of the world that doesn't share their beliefs. In a metropolis that is all about melting, faith allows many people to preserve their identity by segregating them from the rest of society.
