On Monday’s NewsHour, I interviewed public policy professor Robert Putnam of “Bowling Alone” fame about his massive new study of religion, six years in the making: the book “American Grace.” America’s most popular religious group? Its least? How many self-confessed atheists and agnostics among us? Are religious people nicer? All that and more. Plus, what may be the coolest feature of the Making Sen$e page: folks like public policy professor Robert Putnam actually answering your questions. Tuition-free. Admittedly, you won’t get a degree from Harvard, where Putnam has long taught, or even course credit. But you will get answers, straight from the professor’s mouth (which is more than a lot of Ivy League students can say). Post your questions for Robert Putnam in the comment section below or on Making Sen$e and we’ll publish answers next week. We're not going anywhere. Stand up for truly independent, trusted news that you can count on!
