Church-State divide - interesting interview

I was just reading today's post in Laura Matthew's blog about politics and religion and remembered a friend sent me a link to this NPR interview with Garry Wills, emeritus professor of history at Northwestern University and auther of a number of books including his latest Head and Heart: American Christianities. The focus of the interview was on the constitutional separation of church and state - the topic of this new book. I found the interview very interesting and learned a lot about the background of this basic principle of US government. There's an excerpt from the book along with a link for the 20 minute interview. Hope it stays up so you can check it out. Good food for thought during another election season.
