Last night's episode of The Daily Show featured an interesting discussion between host Jon Stewart and noted scholar/author Randall Balmer centering around Balmer's book God in the White House.

Among other things, Balmer and Stewart discussed the difference between Obama/McCain when it came to faith in the 2008 campaign, when America might have its first atheist President and what it would have been like to ask George W. Bush a follow-up question when he famously stated that Jesus was his favorite philosopher.
