Summary

Ethicist, David Gushee, says we are seeing the emergence of a new kind of loveless Christianity. But those who practice it say their anger, culture warring, and pursuit of power are actually how they're loving their neighbors. Then, Skye talks to actor Rainn Wilson, best known as Dwight Schrute from "The Office," about religious pluralism, spiritual narcissism, why Hollywood misrepresents Christians, and how he became a follower of the Baha'i faith. Wilson's new book is "Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution." Also this week—A.I. has rewritten Genesis to be vegan-friendly, and does God really hate yoga pants?
