How can sponsorship be a problem. if people are very interested in it, there're many rich fellows to fund a fair one with prefered debators chosen.

That's a good question! I would be very surprised to see something like that take place, unless it was on a program on PBS.

I cannot speak for the whole U.S., but Houston PBS did exactly that and I, and several of my friends, were privileged to take part in it. The program featured Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, African Tribal, Native American Shaman, Wiccan, Druidic, even Meso-Pagan viewpoints. Sadly there were no Jewish spokesmen, but that was because it was filmed on a Saturday, and they couldn't break their Sabbath. We would have welcomed their presence if we could have. The whole point was that we have more in common than we do apart, and that if we could just start to communicate, most of the conflict will be found to be unnecessary.

No. Because religious debates will not draw an audience. TV wants subject material that will allow them to make lots of money. Religious debates will not raise money. There are some religious TV channels that allow debates-but no one will watch them. John Ankerberg has a debate program that runs on several religious channels. Then there are some Catholic channels that allows debate among themselves, but it is always pro-Catholic.

If the idea is that the debate would be funded by the government, it would be unconstitutional. If the debate is privately funded, than it should be allowed on national T.V.

I expect the Christians would have to have final say over everything

it Really depends on if you can get sponsors for your time Slot on TV(as its very expensive). Billy Graham used to be on TV all the time when he was younger.
