"Just started this series tonight--looks like another home run from PBS
and a very good American history lesson about our founders and their
ideas/positions about religion. Jefferson believed in individual rights
and a broad view of religious tolerance. What a concept. Hope you're
watching it; it will probably be released on CD at some point. I think
this is a landmark television work." MW
Excerpted from the home page:
Since the days when the Puritan
"city on a hill" beckoned on the horizon of the New World, religious
faith and belief have forged America's ideals, molded its identity and
shaped its sense of mission at home and abroad.
For the first time on television, God in America explores the tumultuous 400-year history
of the intersection of religion and public life in America, from the
first European settlements to the 2008 presidential election.
