Your take: religion in America
This morning, we’re looking at a new survey by the Pew Research Center, comparing the attitudes of Muslim-Americans to the rest of the population. We asked you about how your faith affects your happiness and how you feel about America. James from Oregon wrote this on our Facebook page:
Up to that point, it doesn’t impact my satisfaction as a citizen at all. When it becomes a public matter through charitable works and outreach, it positively impacts my satisfaction as a citizen. It is when religion is used to mandate the destruction of civil liberties or commit acts of hatred or violence that it negatively impacts me.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
