Submitted by faithvalues on October 29, 2009 - 6:46pm.
Steven Waldman, who founded Beliefnet.com 10 years ago as a website devoted to all faith traditions, is stepping down as editor in chief. Waldman's site can be credited with helping launch "user-generated content" since it was users' message posts that started getting turned into articles. Waldman is also the author of "Founding Faith." The book is about how Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, James Madison and John Adams and their ideas about the role of religion and the state influenced the development of the new nation.
