The Panic Over Whether Religion Is “Even Legal”

By Sarah Posner

…ous freedom of her employer will have interfered with the provision of high-quality medical care to her. In this context, the welfare of the patient must trump the religious convictions of her employer. After all, it is the woman, not her employer, whose health is at risk. (emphasis mine) Yet “secularism,” Lopez contends, “would have you surrendering your conscience as soon as you leave a house of worship … to run a business, to run a hospital, to…

The Dalai Lama and Muslims

By Hussein Rashid

…opular discourse is based around competing gods. Religion is seen as a zero-sum, competitive space in popular discussion. Any conversation must be with the intent to convert, rather than a chance to learn or to teach. We assume every conversation will be theological (“explain the Nicene Creed,” “what is tikkun olam,” “do you practice jihad”), rather than human. What the Dalai Lama seemed to be doing is focusing on the human, on the quality of comp…

Americans Are Overtreated to Death

By Daniel Schultz

…tients conspire in the false hope that this experimental treatment or that new medication will cure the disease. Even more common, I suppose, is the idea that therapeutic intervention can create a life not without inconvenience altogether, but with a manageable inconvenience. In other words, sure you’re sick as a dog, you’re puking five times a day, and you’ve lost all your hair. But isn’t it worth it to watch your kids water ski one more time? Pa…

Demonized and Demonizing No More.

By Joanna Brooks

…’re popularly called—really do shine a light on the fact that the socially compulsory quality of religion is waning for most of the population. What happens when one does not feel they must go to church or synagogue to be a good person? Then one can choose religion as an expression of desire, belonging, hope, beauty, love, or pleasure. You’ve certainly made a good case here that atheism can deliver those things. Thank you! I tried to be careful to…

An Evangelical Intellectual Takes On Same-Sex Marriage, Grasps at Straw Men

By Eric C. Miller

…scriminated, the rejected, and the vilified. Having spent decades opposing new freedoms for gays, Christians now claim that gays are somehow stripping freedoms from them. Given the history between these groups, this claim demonstrates an incalculable level of chutzpah. I suggested earlier that Craig’s reasoning might be instructive to those interested in the arguments that drive the debate over same-sex marriage. Having now worked through that rea…

Why Zubik is Especially Important for Women of Color

By Elizabeth Platt and Kira Shepherd

…harmed disproportionately. Clinic closings make it especially hard for low-income women and women of color to get an abortion, since many cannot afford to travel the long distances needed to reach a clinic. A recent New York Times article found that clinic closings appear to be closely linked to the uptick in searches for illegal, self-induced abortion. In addition, women who have unintended pregnancies are more likely to abuse substances while p…

#WeStandWithIsaac: A Movement for LGBT Inclusion in the Mennonite Church

By Scott Schomburg

…nted to be a Mennonite pastor. Isaac and I were going through Peter Dula’s book on companionship, which Isaac remembered first reading when Peter was attending Chapel Hill Mennonite Fellowship. “[Peter’s book] helped me realize that I wanted to become a pastor,” Isaac wrote to me, “because I couldn’t think of another job that would allow me to experience human life with the kind of mysterious intensity and ordinary beauty that Peter describes in h…

A Great Evangelical Divorce? — Speaker Mike Johnson’s Breakup with Marjorie Taylor Greene Could Be Bad News For Trump

By Diana Butler Bass

…icy. The upshot? There are two evangelical factions in the GOP—Greene’s pro-Trump, pro-Putin, populist MAGA, Steve Bannon group; and Johnson’s (also) pro-Trump, Russia-skeptical, establishment Washington, Tony Perkins evangelical crowd. I know it’s difficult for many Americans to find daylight between these two groups, but there are real tensions here—occasionally in policy and always in style. But the rift was out in the open this week around Ukr…

The Protestant Mainline Makes a (Literary) Comeback

By Gary Dorrien

…n I have a stake in both subjects, and a track record of worrying that make-up-your-own-religion yields shallow and self-absorbed spiritualities. But the new books rightly emphasize that liberal Protestantism played a sizable role in creating the spiritual-but-not-religious sensibility that pervades the North American middle class, and they do so with a mostly appreciative attitude. From Shrinking Churches to ‘Cultural Victory’ Intellectual histor…

Discrimination on the Taxpayer’s Dime? The Fight To Curtail the Overreach of RFRA

By Sarah Posner

…Hobby Lobby, for example, for making it harder for women to access the cost-free contraception coverage required under the Affordable Care Act. And at the federal agency level, critics say that officials have permitted religious organizations funded by the faith-based initiative (started under George W. Bush and continued under President Barack Obama) to discriminate in hiring—or to refuse to provide services they find religiously objectionable. W…
