All Your Dead Mormons Are Belong To Us

By Jay Michaelson

…rought us polygamy and the doctrine that black people are cursed by God—suddenly becoming the defenders of family values at the expense of gay people. It’s still LDS doctrine that homosexuality is a choice, and, of course, the church has bankrolled anti-same-sex-marriage campaigns in California and other states. Most analysts agree that without the infusion of Mormon cash, Prop 8 wouldn’t have passed. So, as a queer Jew, alldeadmormonsarenowgay.co…

By Sarah Posner

Over at the Nation, George Zornick uses the piece to point out Pawlenty’s anti-choice extremism. By 2011 standards, though, Pawlenty’s anti-choice crusades seem downright mild.

By Sarah Posner

…the expenditures being made in this church when there was a mortgage not being paid, I was astounded.” NWITimes reports that even as the church owed close to $100,000 a month in mortgage payments (not to mention mortgage payments on condos the church claimed to use for visiting clergy, and other unspecified bills in excess of half a million dollars), Munsey and his wife Melodye raked in “$2.9 million in total compensation from 2008 through 2011 f…

A Public Monument to Atheism—In Florida

By Becky Garrison

…e, Rob Boston, Senior Policy Analyst, reflects on how this move toward pluralism may end up backfiring on those who wish to establish their version of a Christian America in the public square. Fundamentalists may think they’ve found a clever way to bring the Commandments in through the back door by invoking a “free speech zone.” They have to understand what that means—free speech means free speech for everyone. Those courthouse plazas may get awf…

By Becky Garrison

…t Humanists were not included in today’s interfaith service. Eboo Patel, Founder and President of Interfaith Youth Core offered these comments: Atheists and secular humanists should absolutely be included in interfaith memorial ceremonies. They represent 20% of the population, and they grieve and hope with the same intensity that believers do. Furthermore, institutions like the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard are shaping language and pastoral model…

Atheist Islamophobia… Again

By Kate Blanchard

…for Understatement of the Year. An article by Frans De Waal that seeks to understand why “Militant Atheism Has Become a Religion” seems relevant here. As an Emory psychology professor who conducts research on primate behavior, and an atheist himself, his criticism is directed neither at atheists nor Muslims.

By Peter Anthony Mena

…ngines like Bing (which decorated its homepage with Easter eggs). But what underlies nearly all the comments is the assumption of the whiteness of U.S. Christianity alongside the pairing of brownness with particular political agendas. In this instance, brownness (represented by Chávez) is anti-American, anti-capitalism and, because of calendrical happenstance, anti-Christ. To some conservative Christians, Google’s iconography is the latest in an o…

History Channel’s The Bible Keeps Conservatives (Mostly) Happy and Jesus White

By Paul Harvey

…in part by Puritan iconoclasts who distrusted and destroyed imagery has become now the greatest exporter of sacred imagery (particularly of Jesus) in the world. The Bible carries on full force in that tradition. Samson, as a physically strong man, may be a black man, but the history of Jesus in American culture and film is too well-developed to allow such unconventional casting. So, hope to see some of you TV cheeseheads back here in two weeks,…
