Should government encourage-- or even mandate-- good manners? One Maryland county is adopting the mantra "Choose Civility" in its campaign to encourage residents to be nicer to each other. We look at whether campaigns can engineer the civility they're aiming for, and how citizens react when they're told to be friendly.

It's one of the odd contradictions of American life: Religion is an increasingly prominent part of our cultural and political conversations. Yet research shows that many Americans don't understand the basic tenets of the world's faiths. And many feel uncomfortable even talking about their beliefs. We explore these apparent contradictions, and how they affect our approach to religion in our private and professional lives.
