Book - Steven Waldman - "Founding Faith"
I've just put this into the "Links and Information" Science Programs on Radio, TV and Internet topic. I thought it should also be in a "Is America a Christian nation?" type topic, so I managed to track this one down.
​
From the above cited location:
​
quote:
Was America meant to be a Christian nation? Steven Waldman, founder of Beliefnet.com, debunks myths about religion in the lives the Founding Fathers, and in the early history of America in his new book, Founding Faith.
​
Fresh Air : NPR
Click on "Listen to Tuesday's show" link.
​
The interview runs about 39 minutes.
​
or
​
MP3 download available (entire show, probably only until tomorrows show) at:
Fresh Air : NPR
​
A couple of blurb pages on the book:

Amazon.com

Added by edit on 3/12/08: The above audio feed links are apparently only good until the next "Fresh Air" happens. The MP3 is now gone, but the other feed in now available at Page Not Found : NPR.
​
Edited by Minnemooseus, : Added new audio feed link in green block.

Re: Book - Steven Waldman - "Founding Faith" (another longer interview)
I just caught the very tail end of this on the radio. Will get back to hear all of it later.
​
http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/...ating_the_founders
​
Contains links to audio from the 1 hour program (53:27). Those links are:
MP3 (49MB): http://download.publicradio.org/...berating_the_founders.mp3
RealAudio: http://publicradio.org/...h/20080313_liberating_the_founders
Transcript: http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/...s/transcript.shtml
​
They also promise an "unedited to fit time slot" version of the interview, but it is not yet available.

I was especially amused by the stuff about McCain's inept attempts to curry favour with Evangelicals.
​
I wonder why he bothers. These people are probably (unfortunately) reliable republican voters regardless of who the candidate is. Are these people going to vote for Clinton or Obama? I don't think so. Maybe they would go third party, which would hurt McCain, but I see them as being to pragmantic to do that.

ps: Note to self - Check out what else speakingoffaith.org has available.
