For our series' final installment, we look at the role of faith and religion in this year's presidential election. Both John Kerry and George Bush talk about their religious beliefs, but in very different ways. And how they talk about their faith strongly effects how they talk about their policies, especially on social issues, like abortion and gay marriage. We'll discuss how John Kerry and George Bush talk about their faith, how their different religious beliefs affect their political views, and how much Americans care about their president's faith. Laura's guests are Harvey Cox, professor at the Harvard Divinity School and Luis Lugo, director of the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. We will also hear from Andy Smith, director of the UNH Survey Center.
