I did watch the forum
I just am unsure what the forum added to anything.
Usually when people want to talk about religion, they want to convince you that their view of religion is the only correct one. Fortunately, the candidates didn't seem to be doing that.
Occasionally there are conversations on religion that actually treat it as a topic worthy of some intellectual energy. I had some of those converstions in college and I've actually heard Jon Meacham have one. But the questions in this forum were so bad that the forum was actually embarrassing to watch. Perhaps "bad" is not the most accurate word, the questions were the typical "issue of the day" questions that have dominated most of "debates" the networks have held so far in this campaign.
