By Sarah Posner

…rnerstone Church, calls “the guerilla warrior of Judeo-Christian political commentary.” Mitchell is an edgy independent filmmaker whose Illuminati Pictures delivers something akin to an animated political cartoon weekly at WorldNetDaily.

…ns in front of his Atlanta megachurch. According to the blog PimpPreachers.com, a group of protesters were “Occupying New Birth” and demanding that Long leave the church he has pastored since 1997. At its peak, New Birth boasted 25,000 members, a figure that sank as Long was accused of sexual abuse and assault by young male congregants last year, claims Long settled in secret in May.

By Sarah Posner

…more outlandish antics. Charles Mitchell, who blogs at evangelicalsformitt.com but is not formally affiliated with the Romney campaign, said, “We don’t just want you to get up there and pound your foot and say, ‘I’m pro-life!’ ‘Let’s go after gay marriage!’” He also said that evangelicals like him are frustrated by publicity stunts like Judge Roy Moore’s defiance of a court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from his courthouse. “Where di…

Racist Remarks by popular BYU Religion Professor Spark Controversy

By Joanna Brooks

…ithout open renunciation of racist theologies by LDS Church leaders, Professor Randy Bott (who on his personal blog apologetically prevaricates on facts of Mormon history) and others have continued to espouse and communicate them to a new generation of Mormons. As progressive BYU students prepare to protest Bott’s remarks, others await formal statements by Brigham Young University or the LDS Church, hoping—perhaps, this time, in the scrutiny of th…

The Other, Forgotten Apocalypse of 2011

By Jason Bruner

…ntrast to other ethnicities in Vietnam or Thailand, the Hmong have shown a comparatively high receptivity to both Protestant and Roman Catholic Christianity, with the highest growth rate of Hmong Christianity coming in the late twentieth century, both within Southeast Asia and in the Hmong diaspora. Why, then, when many other ethnic groups in Southeast Asia proved resistant to Christianity, were the Hmong receptive to it? The Roots of Hmong Christ…

By Michael J. Altman

…will not appear at the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit after Change.com launched a petition against his appearance and denounced Willow Creek as an “anti-gay church.” Mark Silk traces the new prevalence of “for God and country” in the military and somehow brings Dolly Parton into it. From the file of new studies: people become more religious during hard times and are happier during periods of difficulty, restrictions on religious belief and…

The Birth of Glenn Beck’s Nation

By Kelly J. Baker

…nation-state, which emphasized the Puritans, early white colonists, the Founding Fathers, and former Presidents (there are some notable absences in this reconstruction). Their jeremiads proclaimed a fragmentation of white Protestant social order while narrating a pristine, coherent history. In this way, the Klan mobilized millions of white Protestant men and women to join the order, wear robes, and burn crosses. This desire, to narrate a certain…

Will Huntsman’s Mormon Mojo Work on the National Stage?

By Joanna Brooks

…by his washed-out looking website. Go to campaign headquarters at Jon2012.com (which, by the way, doesn’t come up when you Google “Hunstman 2012” or “Huntsman for President”—ouch). The first thing you see is a long shot of a helmeted man riding motocross across the red sands of Monument Valley in southern Utah. And a single word: “Finally.” Really? Still, despite some less than convincing first campaign steps, the consensus take on Huntsman seems…

…back on their heels. Indeed, Ware rebuked Prop 8 proponents by reiterating the entire point of having an impartial judiciary system—whether we agree with their rulings or not: “In our society, a variety of citizens of different backgrounds coexist because we have constitutionally bound ourselves to protect the fundamental rights of one another from being violated by unlawful treatment. Thus, we all have an equal stake in a case that challenges th…

Student To Michele Bachmann: “Presidential Candidates Shouldn’t be able to Make Stuff Up”

By Lauri Lebo

…led LSEA. But the bill died in committee and LSEA still stands. Here he is testifying here. In his testimony, he explains the difference to lawmakers between a scientific theory and the popular use of the word theory as an unproven conjecture. I love the example he uses to make his point, which proves, at heart, he’s a Louisiana boy through and through. “The theory that Carl Weiss wasn’t Huey Long’s murderer, that’s open to debate, but science as…
