Why Are You Interested in Law and Religion?

My colleague, Mark Movsesian, is at a conference in Prague organized by Vaclav Havel, and posts some thoughts about a question that he has fielded three times already.  For what it's worth, my memory of my own experiences on the legal academic market is that this question was asked of me a few times.  I don't think there is anything especially objectionable about the question, and at the time I tried to answer it forthrightly, but I have noticed that it is not generally asked of people with other academic interests that intersect with law.
