Belief and Ballots
An American podcast on faith and the public sphere.
Belief and Ballots is a podcast sponsored by Saint Anselm College’s departments of Theology and Politics and implemented by Campus Ministry. The podcast explores the relationship between faith, the public sphere and political engagement, including interreligious and interfaith perspectives.
The podcast is founded on the belief that faith belongs in the public square and that one’s beliefs should inform one’s morality and political views. The podcast aims to explore how and why faith commitment can lead to a more committed political individual, and why one should fight for and vote for social, cultural, and political issues, informed by faith commitments.
The podcast features interviews with scholars, activists, and religious leaders from a variety of faith traditions. The podcast also includes discussions of current events and political issues from a religious perspective, with a focus on how different faith traditions can come together to address these issues.
Belief and Ballots is a thought-provoking and engaging podcast that explores the intersection of religion and politics. The podcast is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about how their faith can inform their political views and engagement and how interreligious and interfaith perspectives can help to create a more inclusive and welcoming public space.
The podcast aims to help reduce the polarization of political spaces by providing a platform for respectful and informed dialogue between people of different faiths. The podcast also hopes to inspire listeners to engage in their communities and work to create a more just and equitable world.
