Listened to the episode - but was disappointed that the questions asked and focus seemed to suggest increase in Christianity would lead to greater social conservatism. It would have been good to include a socially liberal Christian counterpoint such as the inclusive church movement.

Reminds me of my recent holiday when I left all my workout kit except the sports bras at home, so I borrowed my husband’s swim trunks. It was not cute, but I showed up and got it done.
