The program began with a presentation of voter poll results on topics such as atheism, Mormonism, and extra-marital affairs. Panelists talked about the role religious issues might play in the 2012 presidential election. After the discussion they answered questions from audience members. In the second discussion panelists discussed voter biases toward evangelical Christians and Mormons.
