In Austin and across America, the question of what role faith and religion play in community discussions is quickly becoming a dividing line. The Washington Post reports that 49 percent of Americans say churches and other houses of worship “should express their views on day-to-day social questions,” while 48 percent say churches and other houses of worship should keep out of these matters.
