Wouldn't it be nice if American Politicians Knew a Little Religion?

Turning to this age's Walter Conkrite -- that would be Jon Stewart of the Daily Show -- we hear an important interview with Stephen Prothero of Boston U's religion department and author of the new book Religious Literacy -- a book I've yet to read but will once I buy it. Nonetheless, it looks like a great book and one I wish all the presidential candidates would read. It may be too late for GW, but it wouldn't hurt.

So, watch and then let me know what you think. What it be nice if politicians did know a little religion?
