(It looks like PBS should have titled this, " God(s) In America?" CTK.)
Because if you’re not actively defending the truth, you’re allowing the lies to gain more traction.

Does your family practice more than one religion or faith? If so, how do you blend the traditions?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
As of now, not in my home. My kids are young and they are interested in science and Norse & Greek mythology, instead of the mythology of the god of Abraham. If they "find" god at some point in their lives, then that is their choice.

Should courses about religion be taught in public schools? Why or why not?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
Yes. Religious courses would show that modern mythology has older roots then most people imagine. Those roots would lead some to an uncomfortable realization, one that cannot be ignored.

Do you feel comfortable discussing your faith with others? Why/why not?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
Absolutely. I feel sorry for anyone that has never honesty questioned why they believe, what they believe. I like seeing the expression of those that can't answer that question. Then I wonder, how many gods does one consider before they choose which to worship?

Do you feel that you have a duty, because of your faith, to put your beliefs into action? What are some of those actions?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
Yes, I have a responsibility as an able minded/bodied individual to do what I can to make a positive impact on my community or any other community that I can reach out to help. Tutoring/mentoring, charitable fund-raising, community work...

Are religious beliefs compromised by engaging in politics?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
No, but politics is corrupted by religion. The relationship must be ended and I won't give up fighting for separation of church/state until we are free to live our life without religious interference.

Has 9/11 had any impact on your thoughts about religion? Are you more/less interested in learning about other religions? Do you feel more/less comfortable expressing your religious beliefs?
your photo/ link/ video has been held for approval by a moderator
9/11 confirmed my negative opinion of religion by providing another example of the devastating impact that it has on on our existence.
