Religious Freedom in America

On Wednesday, November 11, 2009, The Gallatin Coffee House Series presented "Religious Freedom in America,"

What does the constitution say about religious freedom? What is the difference between freedom of religion versus freedom from religion? Is secularism itself a form of faith? What happens when religious expression intersects with politics? By what means can we negotiate conflicting world views, paradigms, or faiths? How does recent legislation redefine our idea of religious freedom?
What does it mean to exclude "religion" from civic life if we think of religion as articulating our deepest assumptions and commitments? In what context was religious freedom in America created? What is religious freedom?
