The University Channel podcast is one of the best around, and this talk by Jon Meacham, author of American Gospel : God, the Founding Fathers, and the Making of a Nation, is one of the best and most balanced I’ve heard on God and government. I had typed up some excerpts, but lost them when my browser crashed, but just go listen to the guy, he is excellent, and what I’d call middle-right to centrist on this issue.
