Post-Protestant, Post-Literate

About this episode

The episode discusses the relationship between the decline of literacy and Protestantism in America.

This week, the Pugs discuss an article by our friend Aaron Renn dealing with the loss of literacy and the decline of Protestantism in America. Is there a connection between the two? If so, which causes the other? What is the historic connection between literacy and Protestantism? The guys discuss these and other related subjects in this episode.
