New podcast available from Why? Radio
A new podcast, “On the Separation of Church and State,” with guest Andrew Seidel, is now available on Why? Radio.
The First Amendment guarantees that one religion is not privileged over another, so why does it feel like personal beliefs dominate the public sphere? Private conviction is supposed to guide our moral lives, so why is the Supreme Court poised to overturn Roe v. Wade? On this episode of Why? Radio we ask about these issues and more. We explore the nature and limits of the U.S. Constitution and examine the democratic justification for toleration. Ultimately, we come face to face with one of the great questions of the moment: is the First Amendment obsolete?
Andrew L. Seidel is a constitutional attorney and the Director of Strategic Response at the Freedom From Religion Foundation. He is the author of two books, The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American and American Crusade: How the Supreme Court is Weaponizing Religious Freedom, which will be published in 2022.
