Initial Post: Each of the three men interviewed addressed the role of religion in modern society. They all live in England, a society that is much more secular than the United States, and yet they reflect many of the same issues and questions that are posed in the United States. In two paragraphs (each paragraph should consist of no more than 4-5 sentences), respond to the following two questions: First, in what ways would modern society be better without the presence of religion? Second, in what ways would modern society be worse without the presence of religion?

Visit the discussion again: answer the following question (no more than 4-5 sentences, please): Would you place limits on the role of religion in society, what are those limits, and why would you place them?
