Give And Take

My guest is Mark Oppenheimer. He returns to the show to talk about the current American religious landscape. We discuss a recent piece in The Atlantic that he calls "evangelical fear mongering." We also talk about his recent review of Jonathan Rauch's new book [Cross Purposes: Christianity's Broken Bargain with Democracy](https://www.amazon.com/Cross-Purposes-Christianitys-Bargain-Democracy/dp/0300273541/?encoding=UTF8&pdrdw=t4d15&content-id=amzn1.sym.bc3ba8d1-5076-4ab7-9ba8-a5c6211e002d&pfrdp=bc3ba8d1-5076-4ab7-9ba8-a5c6211e002d&pfrdr=134-0351661-4060607&pdrdwg=1LhYy&pdrdr=c352f3e6-6355-4103-963b-3617511be8f1&ref=aufsapscdsk)_.
