Inspired
Inspired is the nation's leading public radio show about faith, ethics and spirituality. Each week we offer you analyses of the big headlines alongside lesser-told stories – those of Orthodox Jewish artists and African-American atheists, Muslim feminists and spiritual seekers. Through these stories, a rough sketch of our country’s religious landscape begins to emerge. It’s a marketplace of beliefs and ideas too complex for sound bites, and too important to ignore.
Introducing the ‘Nones’
If someone polls you about your religion and you choose “none of the above,” welcome to one of the fast-growing groups of people in America.
People who describe themselves as atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular now make up nearly 20 percent of the American population.

The Loretto Community: Trailblazing Sisters
Maureen takes us on a journey to Kentucky hill country–to the home base of her community, the Sisters of Loretto. It’s a story that began 200 years ago, when three pioneering women trekked from the east coast to provide education for the local children.
Pictured: the Loretto Motherhouse, the homebase of the community.
Supernatural Spirituality
Time was, we humans turned to the gods to explain our strange spiritual experiences. Now we have a new source: science fiction movies.
