They stand for coming out here on this lovely saturday evening. We are very pleased to have steve waldon to talk about his new book. Sacred liberty. It is about religious freedom and what steve calls in the subtitle, americas long, bloodied and ongoing struggle for that freedom. These days we tend to think of a religious freedom as a basic fundamental principle of our democracy and one we take very much for granted.
