Listen to all three of our guests provide further insight about the role religion plays in the public's daily life.

Religious fundamentalism has reshaped our view of world events. In this show, host Krista Tippett explores the appeal of fundamentalism in Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, as experienced from the inside. Three accomplished men, who were religious extremists at one time in their lives, provide revealing insight into the spiritual and cultural dimensions of fundamentalism. They also discuss religious impulses which counter the fundamentalist world view and helped them break free.

I think you did well
I think you did well describing the story of the Bible and how we fit into it. However, I look at the phsare my spirituality as relating to my attitudes and actions more than just my beliefs, though the beliefs are the foundation. In my own answer, I started with that foundation and then went from there.Perhaps the question could be better phsared: How are you spiritual?
