i was getting tired of the catholic worship i was used to, big suburban parish, 45-minute mass because you had to empty the parking lot. here, mass was 2.5 hours long and it was so vibrant and chaotic and fun. i learned how a strong spiritual life can help you deal with the challenges we all face in life. i do not think you can understand the things about your own culture until you step outside of it. you take things for granted. honduras was a military dictatorship. the jesuits were persona non grata with the military. i lived with people who prayed for the day they could vote for anything. but i was living in a country where voting turnout was low. it really made a believer in me about our system. the rule of law is a whole lot better than the iron fist people still live under all over the world. if you are in a society that gives you the privilege to participate, you have to take advantage of it. the pictures of my friends waiting in line with big smiles on their faces because they could finally participate. you see those pictures from all around the globe. it taught me about things

today these temples are alive with worshipers.by some accounts, one out of every five chinese, 240 million people call themselves buddhist. some scholars say this search for faith is linked to china's massive environmental problems. gary marcuse: i had been filming in china since 2008, when i i first started t to meet someme of the kind of leading enviroroental actitivists and journalists inin china. when my friend liu jianqiang said he's becoming a buddhist, particularly a tibetan buddhist, i was very curious about why. we'd already decided we would make a little dodocumentary that would sort of show people what it is that has attracted him, but when i asked himim just in shorthand, you know, what is it that you're looking for in a religion, in a faith, in a culture? and he said, well, you know, for 15 years, hehe said, i''ve n reporting on the environment, and in that time, everything is still getting worse. so you begin to feel like what's the point? you knowow, we're exhausted, we're burned out. and he s said i neneeded someth

the idea of a time when islam was pure, when the polity was led purely by worship of god. but, of course, like any political structure, it's much more complicated than that. there were caliphs who were deeply spiritual and deeply war like. you can find a justification for almost anything, any form of political action in the caliphate. so i think this is a necessary corrective to this kind of, this rhetoric of the caliphate as a purer and better time. >> host: one more book you have coming up. >> guest: well, there's an interesting book in political science could locked in by john fath who's a law professor/criminologies and a statistician which is about why we struggle so much in america with mass incarceration and how everything you think you know about mass be incarceration is wrong. it's not about the war on drugs, it's not about private prisons, it's really about the role of prosecutors in our criminal justice system which i think a lot of people haven't really acknowledged as the major factor behind these very high levels of imprisonment in the united states. and, i m

and it is the free exercise of religion, not just worship, it's broader than worship. it's the free exercise of your religion. and so this was a world historical shift in the understanding of religious liberty in the virginia declaration of rights. this was approved in june, 1776, three weeks before the declaration of independence. so, now let's go back to 1787 and philadelphia. why with all these precedents had the constitutional convention not written a bill of rights? well, certainly by the time george mason spoke they were all tired and wanted to get home. but justifications were given when the constitution went out to the states for ratification. one of the first states to ratify at the end of 1787 was one of the largest, pennsylvania. and that was -- that was a very rough ratification process. the supporters of the constitution had a majority and they knew it and they just wanted to vote the thing through and get it done. when anti-federalists tried to deprive them of a quorum, they sent people out to snatch them on the streets and hustle them into the room so th
