Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on
Friday, December 22, 2000, at 8:00 pm Eastern time.  Please
check your local listings for the time in your area.

C-SPAN first broadcast this debate on its "American
Prospectives" program.  It was the highest rating that C-SPAN
has ever gotten for "American Perspectives."

C-SPAN's Program Description:
"In a structured debate which featured opening statements,
rebuttal, closing statements, and questions from the
audience, Ambassador Keyes and Professor Dershowitz
debated the question, "Does Organized Religion Have the

contention were the influence of religion on the founding

public discourse and politics. In often heated debate in
response to audience questions, participants addressed
issues such as sexual orientation, civil rights, Christianity,
and the role of government in making social policy."
