this, is that what the social science data now tells us, and i'm speaking especially from robert putnam who did a great profile of your church. in his most recent book, "american grace," written with david catch bell he says, listen, 50 years ago the divide was between catholics, protestants and jews. today the divide is between political conservatives whose religion driving them to their can conservativism and secularists and liberals whose religion or secularism puts them in that category. in my view, if interfaith work is furthering and deepening that polarization, it's not doing it job. there are other movements that are bringing people from different religious traditions together to vote for obama or to articulate liberal theologies. important movements, and i play a role in those movements. interfaith cooperation is a civic movement that says that the american project is about people from very different backgrounds who disagree on cosmic things, huge things; abortion, where to draw the line in the middle east. all of these things. but who still build a nation together. and i just

there was a book that came out in 2010 called "american grace" by robert putnam and david campbell.ve study of the lives of religious americans. what they found is that religious americans are much more civically engaged that the nonreligious. they participate in volunteer efforts more, they give more to charity, but the reason why they are more civically engaged is because they have this kind of community structure. so we believe that nonreligious people can benefit from this same kind of structure and sure enough, there are nonreligious organizations who have been helping out in newtown, who have been raising money, who have been supporting the families and i think that the time has come now that one in five americans identifies as religiously unaffiliated and one in three under the age of 30, the time has come for nonreligious communities to be providing those same kinds of things. >> serene, i think the important point of what jonathan just said, the demographics. younger people are starting to move away. do you see just as a broader look, when you have these tragedies happening
