Religion has profoundly influenced the sweeping American narrative, perhaps more than any other force in our history, from the time of the Indigenous Peoples to the present day. The National Museum of American Religion tells the surprising and compelling story of what religion has done to America and what America has done to religion, including the establishment of religious freedom in U.S. Constitution’s Article VI and First Amendment religious clauses.
The museum invites all people to explore the role of religion in shaping the social, political, economic, and cultural lives of Americans and thus America itself.
Join us as we follow scholars and others deep into America’s religious history and learn how it can inform and animate us as citizens grappling with complex questions of governance and American purpose in the 21st century.
Episodes will be released monthly on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you get your podcasts.
