Religion watchers, mark your calendars for Oct. 18-21, when Colorado College will present a mammoth symposium titled "Religion and Public Life: Why Be Afraid?"
Gary Hart, former state senator and author of the book "God and Caesar in America: An Essay on Religion and Politics," will give the keynote. He'll be joined by other political and religious luminaries, including liberal evangelical the Rev. Jim Wallis, former Bill Clinton religious advisor Phil Wogaman, and Colorado Springs' own omnipresent evangelical, the Rev. Ted Haggard of New Life Church.
It should be interesting. Heck, even the title is worthy of discussion: What does the "why be afraid" mean? That we have nothing to fear, or that we should be very, very afraid? Hart believes the latter, and it appears that many other panelists swing that way, too. Haggard's the only conservative Christian advocate I could identify of the bunch, though perhaps there are others.

These folks should be careful around Haggard. He tried to run down Richard Dawkins after an interview, and accused him of calling his children "animals".
The footage is part of Dawkin's excellent documentary (much of it filmed in Colorado Springs).
Part 1 is here
Part 2 is here.
