British journalist and Atlantic magazine staff writer Helen Lewis explores this question in The Church of Social Justice, a new radio documentary for the BBC.

She talks to Inside Politics podcast host Hugh Linehan about how political identity and religion overlap, the value and limitations of each, and the influence of American culture wars on discourse this side of the Atlantic.
