Read the latest press releases, blog posts, and State of Belief episodes from our team in Washington, D.C., our network of faith leaders and affiliates across the United States.
First published in 2009 and then again in 2013, this report makes the case that the United States can respect both civil marriage equality and religious freedom. It was the result of years of dialogue with affirming and non-affirming religious leaders.
Interfaith Alliance, a leading national advocate for religious freedom and civil rights, today denounced a new report by the Trump Department of Justice’s “anti-Christian bias task force,” which absurdly accused the Biden Administration of “radical efforts to punish Christians.”

Host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush talks with Dr. Robert P. Jones, founder and president of the Public Religion Research Institute, which has just released the incredibly detailed Census of American Religion. Robby's latest book, "The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy and the Path to a Shared American Future" has just been released in paperback with a new afterword.

State of Belief host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush talks with Brenda Wineapple, whose new book "Keeping the Faith: God, Democracy, and the Trial That Riveted a Nation" recounts the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, eerily similar to battles over books and what can be taught today.
