Avsnitt America at 250: The inseparable relationship between The United States and religion The Religion and Ethics Report - Separate stories podcast Spela Dela
July the 4th marks 250 years since the founders of the United States ratified the Declaration of Independence. For a nation that was designed explicitly to separate church and state – unlike much of old Europe – the US became remarkably religious. Even as the number of non-religious Americans grows, faith still permeates the culture and, especially, the politics.

Guests: Dr BREANN FALLON is chief executive at the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, which runs programmes dealing with genocide education.MATTHEW AVERY SUTTON is author of Chosen Land: How Christianity Made America and Americans Remade Christianity.
