NPR's John Burnett reports on how religion has fared under the Clinton Administration. The issue of religious liberty has received little attention during the presidential campaign. But it turns out that by signing the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, ordering guidelines for religious expression in public schools and easing certain rules limiting religious businesses, President Clinton has earned praise from conservative and liberal religious leaders alike. But on social issues such as abortion and homosexual rights, some conservative Christian groups still give the President a failing grade. For them, even Republican candidate Bob Dole has not spoken out strongly enough.
