Who are we?
On February 11th we had our 2,300,000th viewer!! We are #1 on Google search for "NYC religion." We were founded on July 9, 2010 and continue with your support. Thanks!
--------------------------------------
We are exploring the postsecular city.
Join us as we travel down all 6,374.9 miles of our city's streets, every alleyway and quite a few hallways to map and photograph every religious site and to interview clergy and lay leaders at the sites.
We are a public square for the postsecular city. People of faith, people of no faith, liberals, conservatives--all are welcomed to journey together to make this city better for all people. Our warmest feelings are toward those who help the poor, the needy, and the abused.
