and many doing so -- in doing so, pote the secular and -- both the secular and religious forces in the arab world who have been at odds with each other have basically had an unwritten alliance to teach people that truths are absolute so that they don't question authority and so that they, we have docile societies. of course, the result has been exactly the opposite. people have been brought up without any skills that are needed to compete in today's marketplace. and, therefore, become extreme, you know, increasingly frustrated, unable to join the market force. that explains the unemployment rate of double the world's average. and in the end, going to the streets in the way that they did in egypt, in due tunisia and in other places. is that a lesson that is being internalized by country, both those that are undergone transitions and those that have not? i don't think so. those countries that have not upside gone transitions think -- undergone transitions think they are different. the rich, you know, and ironically most of them are the monarchies of the arab world. the rich monoaround ca

i mention the secularization hypothesis. religion in europe was about to die out. it was postindustrial, and then, all of a sudden, religion turned around and caught europe off guard. if you look at rates of religious attendance in churches , then your's rates are very low. in the czech republic and prague, which is by some accounts, the most atheistic countries in the world, only two percent of people profess a religious belief. it is the odd man out. it is fascinating to me. flipside, we are getting data that suggest that religious affiliation, churchgoing is going down quite a lot in america. we are now getting figures of atheists in the teens or 12%. that is quite a large category. when you start looking at data it is quite difficult. some of the surveys pose questions such as, do you regard yourself as atheist, agnostic, or something else, nonreligious. it is in the nonreligious area that i find that there is a lot of interesting things to be done because a lot of people would say that that is spiritual but not religious. a lot of people are interested wisdom

there was a postreligion religion evolving in secular europe.here was a lot of interest in that sort of thing. i think there is still, in a very structured media environment, and traditional media, there is this natural urge to go and seek out the uthority structure, when the authority, the leaders, the voices of the authority, when they're not there, they're left scratching their heads a little bit. this is an ingrained bias against -- and i touch on this. the feeling that oprah winfrey and everything going on in the internet, and he new spirituality out there, that it is intellectual. and that it doesn't justify much news coverage, there is a bit of that going on. win i was presenting a program, i would be trusted to be a regular journalist if i was interviewing the archbishop of canterbury. i would be putting the tough questions to him and would be trusted to do so, but if there was somebody else there who was a little bit more sore airy-fairy, wafty spirituality, i was told to really go hard on them because of this sort of suspicion of it an

a reflection, she wonders, of the interest of the secular news from. i suspect the leisure of the alabama aps i met a decade ago and would strongly disagree with that. on my way in meeting my brethren alabama in the throes of a state election where roadside signs urged me to vote for jesus. when i found him he told me of the crosses that have been planted on his manicured lawn and the abuse his children's had faced a school because their dad was an atheist. agassi is enjoying the news as he is not alone, but of solidarity. i talked about the positive influence the digital media, the democratization of religion, and its coverage with so many new voices out there which is a good thing, but they're is a flip side and one to my belief car reinforces our argument that we need more professionals giving informed and impartial reporting and religion because while more people are writing and everyone feels they can weigh in on the subject, it does mean more biased and informed opinion, especially in an age where the disappearing religious lectures see in the we

i suppose i didn't become a nun or priest come in the studio is my secular pulpit in the coley to run audience that there was my congregation to win a case of colleague, they were not an easy convert to the value of reporting religion in the news. quite the opposite in fact. in 97, returned to london from studying and reporting in the united states is working freelance for the bbc as a general news reporter and producer. a couple of editors, farsighted editors at the bbc world service asked me to trial a new role as religion. they had little backing, and it was a risky proposition and there were few resources thrown my way. i was given a death come a quick tour of the studios and four weeks to see if i could find some interesting news to justify the post. to put it in context, there was a religion department at the bbc, which produce well-regarded tv and radio programs on religion in the domestic audience. there is also a sister religion department at the bbc world service, which was well staffed with producers have been several several programs of the peers that you might remember th

there is a tradition of secularism in tunesia. women are highly educated compared to women in the rest of africa and the arab world. ton yaes is a small country, homogenous country and most importantly ton yaes had a small armed forces. this armed forces never had a tradition of shooting at civilians in the street. but what the iraqi military, and algerian military that accounts for the development of tunesia. tunesia is the only country that will make that transig. egypt was closed because egypt is a homogenous state, mainly. but the islamist in egypt and the fact that you will have strong democratic movement, tradition, led egypt to this state. so on the one hand you have the persistence of the old order and the lack of democratic forces that believe in -- >> so another big question here so, therefore do you look at, we've heard talk about the economy, about the rise of islamist movements. we haven't even brought in syria yet. i raised it in our opening segment. what do you look at most, to help you determine what we might be ta

i must say, that respect for the book transferred itself to secular books as well. i'm not suggesting that we kiss secular books when we -- we're rather hard on books in that we annotate them wildly and so on, but there was that respect for the book. there was a respect for learning. my parents had no formal education at all, but it was understood from the very beginning that both my brother and i would go to college, for example. so that is the intellectual background. c-span: what countries had your parents come from? >> guest: russia. c-span: both irving kristol's and yours? >> guest: yes. that's right. different parts of russia, parts of russia that were later poland and so on, but essentially russia. they regarded themselves as russian jews. c-span: if you go to your book the de-moralization of society, you go back to 1948 for your first book, where you edited a book about, i believe, lord acton. >> guest: lord acton, that's right. i edited his essays. c-span: so if you had gotten married around pearl harbor, where did you go to school? >> guest: what was i doi

now, what all these people wanted was a secular priesthood. including bourne. secular priesthood that was, and this is bourne's words,'s net size slovenly america. bourne and mencken in particular were fhilo- philo-german in world war i. mencken writes a series of articles for the atlantic calling for german victory. and he writes an article, one article which is never actually published, to his everlasting luck, which calls for the german conquest of america. the proofs of it exist somewhere in the mencken connection -- collection, but when you go to talk to the librarians, they will not bring it forward to you. they do not want it seen, and they're right. the only way we know about it is in letters that mencken wrote to other people. i'll come back to this in a bit. let me turn to a fateful year, 919. we fought a war, prohibition has been imposed. during the war there's a good deal of repression. world war i is ugly. in 1917 on the eve of american entry in the war, american leftists -- and i'm including people like max eastman and sister crystal who were part
