Professor Richard Parker of Harvard Kennedy School and Professor Diane Winston of USC’s Annenberg School explore new ways in which media, economics, religion, politics, and culture are today intersecting. Who are the “nones,” a group now comprising 29 percent of the US population? Has Christian nationalism rushed in to fill a spiritual void in 21st century secular neoliberalism, or is the deeper story more complicated? Is secularism a "rational choice" or the result of an anti-religion political culture?
This talk is part of the Religion & Society Program's Faith Angle Forum series, which equips mainstream journalists with resources to strengthen reporting and commentary on how religious communities and convictions shape politics and public life. This session was filmed June 4, 2026, in Park City, UT.
