Does a person's religion decide their politics? Or is it the other way around? Host Angela Davis tackles that chicken-or-egg question by talking with pastors about how they’re handling this contentious election with their congregations, as well as a social scientist who studies the intersection of religion and politics.

Historically, people have looked to their religious leaders for guidance. But between the coronavirus, racial tensions and culture clashes, the things we're worrying about today feel pretty high stakes. Do religious leaders still carry the clout they once did? And with 

 restricting charities’ and churches’ participation in political activism, how far can these leaders go?

Davis also checked in on the state of the economy, as she does each Monday, with MPR News senior economics contributor Chris Farrell.
