This Sunday's State of Belief Radio
Washington July 7 – On this Sunday’s "State of Belief," The Interfaith Alliance Foundation’s show on Air America Radio, Rev. Welton Gaddy speaks with author Michelle Goldberg about the rise of Christian authoritatism in America; examines Barack Obama’s speech on how faith affects his life; examines the effect of recent religious conventions on the landscape of America; and explores how faith bloggers plan to make their mark.

Blogger Velveteen Rabbi, also known as Rachel Barenblat, explains the importance of not just the blogosphere, but of religiously progressive blogs and how they can impact lives, religions and even elections. Rachel is heading up a Progressive Blog Conference with more than 30 bloggers next week to discuss the best way to spread their message.
State of Belief explores the intersection of religion with politics, culture, media, and activism. Through interviews with newsmakers and celebrities, reports from the field, and his own commentary, Welton shows how religion and radical freedom are best friends and how the religious right is wrong – wrong for America and bad for religion.
