The Soul of the Nation: Religious Fundamentalism

A preaching television evangelist; an Amish family in the Pennsylvania countryside; the fiery disaster in Waco, Texas; the World Trade Center bombing; political candidate Pat Robertson; Jewish settlers on Israel’s West Bank. Religious fundamentalism is everywhere in the world today. This program examines this phenomenon, explaining what it is, where it came from, and how it influences the American notion of the separation of church and state. In addition, the program explores the impact of religious fundamentalism on American society and on our organized religions as well. (29 minutes)
