OH, GOD...

Rochester, NY

Thank you for Eyal Press's nuanced and deeply informed "In God's Country" [Nov. 20]. As a longtime Nation subscriber, I've always been grateful for your solidly grounded progressive perspectives, but I've cringed when religion was discussed in your pages. The writers tended to express a secular worldview unfortunately lacking in understanding of the complexities of religious faith in relation to sociopolitical behavior. I hope this essay signals a change at The Nation on that score.
