"American Grace: How Religion Divides and Unites Us" is a exhaustive survey of the role of religion in American public life, and authors Robert Putnam and David Campbell, paint a mostly positive portrait of American religion.

America is the most religious industrialized country in the world, but a new survey finds that few Americans are well-informed when it comes to religion. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life called more than 3,4000 Americans and asked them to answer 32 questions about the Bible, Christianity and other world religions and leaders. The study found that most Americans answered around half the questions incorrectly. The people that scored highest were agnostics and atheists, with Jews and Mormons following closely behind.

With a 10 percent unemployment rate, you might need to pray to get a job in this economy … literally. Many Americans are now turning to their houses of worship for help finding jobs. We talk with Rabbi Rolando Matalon about the career services being offered at his synagogue, B'nai Jeshurun, in New York City.

Can you have faith but not believe in God? There are a growing number of atheists who declare themselves "faithful," but not all religious leaders think their belief system makes sense. On the final day of our week-long series on Faith In America, we feature a debate between humanist chaplain Greg Epstein, author of "Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe," and conservative pastor Douglas Wilson.

As part of our week of coverage on Faith in America, we talk to Obama's 27-year-old head of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, Joshua Dubois. What is the line between church and state and how does he negotiate it?

As the annual hajj pilgrimage begins, we check in with BBC reporter in Mecca, Shahzeb Jilani. We also talk with the State Department’s Special Representative to Muslim Communities, Farah Pandith, about her work and whether or not she plans to make the annual pilgrimage to Mecca this year. It’s all part of our continuing series on Faith in America.

We continue our week-long series on faith in America with Laurel Snyder, editor of "Half/Life: Jew-ish Tales from Interfaith Homes," who talks about growing up in a Jewish/Catholic home, and marrying into one once she became an adult. Also, Kristi Nellor-Hampole and Ravi Hampole, a Baptist from Kansas and a Hindu from Canada, discuss their recent mixed-faith nuptials, and how they plan to raise their future children.

We begin a week-long series on faith in America with a conversation about pushing boundaries within religious traditions.

And Joel Hunter, the evangelical head of the Northland Church, in Florida, explains why supporting environmental conservation and AIDS outreach are an essential part of being pro-life.
