An eye on faith and religion
Mark Sappenfield

I’m excited about Sophie Hills’ story in today’s issue. One reason is that it is fascinating – a look at the growth and evolution of “cultural Christianity,” and what that says about the United States and American religion today.
But just as exciting: It is Sophie’s first story in her new role as our faith and religion writer. She’ll focus on the intersection of religion and politics, culture, and ideas. And today’s article is a great start.
