[asa] More on Moyers and the program

"Sadly, it's become the divine distraction. Here we are bogged down in a
colonial war, spending beyond our means, leaving our children a colossal
debt, paving over our farmland, allowing health care to be both expensive
and inefficient, facing a shortage of affordable housing, and addicted to
oil that is making us more and more dependent on Islamic countries. And
the party in power is obsessed with gay marriage?"

--Journalist Bill Moyers, in an interview with The Dallas Morning News,
commenting on the relevancy of faith and reason to contemporary American
politics.

Since he was 16, Bill Moyers has been a journalist – although he also has
experience in the political world, working for Lyndon B. Johnson, and in
the religious, as an ordained Southern Baptist minister. Now 71, Mr.
Moyers is launching his latest TV project, Faith & Reason, a seven-part
PBS series that includes lively interviews with artists, writers and
thinkers as diverse as Salman Rushdie and Margaret Atwood. Moyers
discusses religion and politics with The Dallas Morning News.
