Can America guarantee free expression of religion in public as an officially secular, but culturally Christian nation? Expressing religious faith in public is both protected by law and socially acceptable.

On this episode of Top of Mind we explore how free non-Christians in America actually feel to express their religious identity and beliefs in public?
