Banter #86: Sports and Religion

Feb8th
2013 2 Comments Written by Stu

In the latest episode of AEI’s Banter podcast, Stu and Andrew sit down with friend-of-the-show Daniel Cox of the Public Religion Research Institute to discuss religion, sports, and America. Their latest poll shows that about 3-in-10 (27%) Americans believe that God plays a role in determining which team wins a sporting event. What does this say about how Americans practice their religion? What kind of God do Americans believe in? Where do most Americans spend their Sunday, at church or watching football? We talk about all this and more. As a bonus, we sit down with Josh Good and Greg Lane of the Values and Capitalism project and talk about their upcoming events.  Enjoy!
