What a 'post-religion' America means for you

In this episode, we speak to New York Times opinion writer Jessica Grose about her fascinating 5-part series exploring how Americans are moving away from religion. and what it means for society.

Study after study shows the rise of "nones," people who identify as having no religion. But there's also a plethora of evidence that religion plays a special role in community building. Eric and guest host Rabbi Daniel Septimus, the CEO of Austin's Federation Shalom Austin, explore with Grose what's behind the trends and how communities can adapt.
