Religions’ Influence
The world’s religions have made headlines in recent weeks: the Pope was attacked at Midnight Mass, a foiled Christmas Day terrorist attack with ties to Al Qaeda and radical Islam, Evangelical Pat Robertson made controversial comments on earthquake ravaged Haiti and even Tiger Woods’ Buddhist faith has been questioned in light of his infidelity scandal.  What influence does religion have on our lives?  Should a person’s faith be kept private?
 
Guests:
