With Bernie Sanders visiting the Vatican this past weekend, the pope commenting on Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the Mexican border and the Republican frontrunner’s call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., religion has had its moments in the presidential campaign. But in a speech Tuesday night at Williams College, journalist Mark Oppenheimer plans to discuss why he believes religion no longer matters in American politics.The event starts at 8 o’clock. It is free and open to the public.
