One Nation under God…but Since When?

American values may be compatible with the Christian Bible, but the Founding Fathers insisted on the separation of Church and State. Yet many Americans believe they live in a historically "Christian Nation." We hear about a long-running campaign to associate religion and politics.

American values may be compatible with the Christian Bible…but the Founding Fathers insisted on the separation of church and state. Yet many Americans believe they live in a historically "Christian Nation." On this rebroadcast of a conversation we originally broadcast in April, we hear about a long-running campaign to associate religion and politics.

Also, President Obama announces new rules on overtime pay. On today's Talking Point, a six-year-old American citizen who refuses to speak is collateral damage from policies that require her undocumented parents to leave the country. We hear about "American Exiles and Orphans."
