“Berns: Does some of the criticism of The Family have an anti-religious bent — in a nation that values religious freedom? Sharlet: Why is Sen. Tom Coburn (Oklahoma Republican) going to the government of Lebanon, one of the most religiously torn countries in the world, and going as a U.S. senator paid for by The Family — and saying to the government that the solution to their problems is to...
