Sensible talk about religion

As an antidote to the sky-is-falling rhetoric of the left about the role of religion in our politics, don’t miss Michael Barone’s commentary on the matter for Real Clear Politics. Barone dismisses the “silly” claim that the U.S. is on its way to becoming a theocracy, and then proceeds to the serious question of whether strong religious belief is on the rise in America and the world. The answer is yes, unless “you confine your gaze to Europe, Canada and American university faculty clubs.”
