Thoughts from the program: Religions have the freedom to discriminate under the law, but religion is in a moral market place. When it can not longer market its outdated dogma does it change to keep its core customers?

Tuesday, we’re broadcasting our conversation from a conference on religious liberty hosted by Claremont Graduate University over the weekend. Doug was joined by guests to tackle questions at the heart of the debate over the role of religion in the public square: what fears are driving both sides? What does the constitution guarantee? What does that mean in the public and private arenas? And finally, how do we find common ground for discussing faith and governance in a fractured society?
