Earlier this year, I spoke with a college class about the relationship between religion and entertainment.
I talked about my coverage of the movie “Conclave,” the member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who was then competing on “The Bachelor” and religion’s role in the Olympics.
But when it came time for the Q&A portion of my presentation, there weren’t any questions about faith-related movies and shows. Instead, one of the students challenged me to talk more broadly about religion in American life. “Who counts as religious?” he said.
