About this episode
Much is said about how divided the U.S. is these days. But perhaps there is still something that unites Americans. Longtime NPR correspondent Tom Gjelten reports on what he calls the country's "civil religion" — a collection of beliefs, based on freedom, that should apply to every American equally.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment that will help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
