…to Heaven, and other flags among the crowds at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Image: Uncivil Religion, The Smithsonian Institution and the University of Alabama. The MAGA movement, more than any in my adult lifetime, has spawned a multitude of transgressive and aggressive symbols.

The United States, after all, remains the world’s richest, most technologically sophisticated, and most militarily powerful country. It dominates the fields of medical research, arti…

LDS Church Disavows “Mormon”-ism

By Holly Welker

On August 16, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced—again—that it wants everyone to stop using the word Mormon. A style guide—posted on its website mormonnewsroom.org—explains that the full name of the church (capital T on The, hyphen between Latter and day, which has a lower-case d) should be used on first reference.
