The public good of private faith | Bill Duncan and Sam Abrams
In today’s cultural climate, religion is often treated as a purely private matter — something best kept out of public life. But what if that assumption is missing the bigger picture?
On this episode of Defending Ideas, host Nic Dunn sits down with two leading experts to review new research showing that religious participation offers powerful public benefits. Bill Duncan is the Sutherland Institute Constitutional Law and Religious Freedom Fellow, and Sam Abrams is a Sutherland visiting scholar and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
From strengthening families and improving education outcomes to promoting health and well-being, faith communities play a vital role in the fabric of a flourishing society. Drawing on data and real-world examples, this conversation highlights how religion contributes to social stability, civic virtue, and personal resilience — regardless of individual beliefs. And it invites listeners to consider how we can protect both the freedom and the public presence of religion in a pluralistic America.
