one nation under God

The theory of the "God gap"--which suggests that, in general, religious Americans are Republicans and non-religious Americans are Democrats--has played prominently in press reporting on the 2004 presidential race. At their recent conventions, both parties seemed to grapple with faith and respond to the perceived God gap in interesting and unexpected ways. This special program from American Public Media's "Speaking of Faith" asks whether there actually is such a clear cut rift in American society.

Guests:Steven Waldman, a former editor for U.S. News and World Report, and co-founder and CEO of Beliefnet. Beliefnet describes itself as "a multi-faith e-community designed to help you meet your own religious and spiritual needs."
