In this episode, they dig into doctrinal shifts at the Court and recent studies about religion cases, explaining what the numbers don\\u2019t show. In segment two, they dive into the Supreme Court\\u2019s 2021 decision in Fulton v. Philadelphia\\xa0(15:55), involving a faith-based group\\u2019s voluntary partnership with the government to administer a foster care program. The decision hinged on a single line in a contract, and they share why it\\u2019s not as sweeping a decision as the 9-0 outcome might make it seem. In the third segment, hear what Amanda, Holly, and BJC have been doing since we last gathered for a podcast \\u2014 from new school routines to calling out Christian nationalism.\\xa0
