What ‘Faith Groups Do X’ Journalism Reveals About the Press’s Priorities

By Chrissy Stroop

…ith the blasé bothsidesism of the mainstream press, whose representatives felt compelled to treat any views espoused by senior members of an increasingly radicalized, authoritarian Republican Party with journalistic neutrality. Thankfully, we’ve seen some improvement on this front, with more and more commentators and anchors willing to name authoritarianism as a problem and to call out untruths put forth by their sources and guests in no uncertain…

Should Evangelicals Smoke Pot?

By Eric C. Miller

…, Crouch says this: We at Christianity Today believe Christians are absolutely free to use marijuana (where legalized). And, when it comes to pot in our particular cultural context, we think it would be foolish to use that freedom. For the CT editors, the moral quality of marijuana use seems to depend entirely upon the “cultural context” in which it occurs. And since our particular context is not conducive to marijuana use, marijuana use would be…

The Missing Element in the Conversation on Christian Nationalism and Freedom: Whiteness

By Peter Laarman

…ways-problematic American freedom. For example, American Studies professor Elizabeth Anker does a good job on “ugly freedoms” in a recent opinion piece citing January 6 and the militant anti-maskers, in which she helpfully references Tyler Stovall’s important work on the historical link between freedom and whiteness. Unfortunately, Anker fails to take sufficient notice of Stovall’s primary thesis, which addresses what is often considered the “para…

Another Far Right Theocrat Shows up on the Trump Team

By Julie Ingersoll

…ke over America by implementing Sharia. We’re seeing the rhetoric around “religious freedom” as Christian privilege, the denial of which is framed as persecution from the Trump Administration—but there are at least two other places to keep an eye Sekulow’s influence. ACLJ has developed an international presence and launched The East African Center for Law and Justice in 2010 when several African countries were revising their constitutions. They wo…

Embryo Men — Decades of Conspiracy, Christian Nationalism, and Fear Led Us to The End of Roe v. Wade

By Carmen Celestini

…es who protected “American values” of family, gender roles, morality, and religion. In Caldwell’s articles, and in the rhetoric of much of today’s conservative movement, it was America’s abandonment of God and embrace of LGBTQ2SA communities, feminism, and effeminate men, that opened the door for the communist/socialist infiltration. Caldwell’s advice was to “treat your son, from the very bassinet, to be manly,” as he wasn’t an adorable baby, but…

Biden’s New Domestic Terrorism Strategy Addresses Trump’s Omission of White Nationalism, But Fails to Address Targeting of Black and Brown Americans

By Sara Kamali

…un-American, under constant suspicion of violence by law enforcement and fellow citizens alike. The Strategy released by the Biden administration only makes these disparities distinct rather than ameliorating the underlying inequities. For example, when discussing the dissemination of harmful content by “malicious actors online,” the Strategy cites al-Qa’ida instead of the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and other white nationalist groups and individua…

Krapp’s Last Tweet: The Rise (and Fall?) of Privilege in the Digital Economy

By Kevin Healey

…-act play Krapp’s Last Tape, a ragged old man named Krapp rummages obsessively through reels of recorded tapes from years past. On the tapes, his voice relates broken stories of romantic encounters and addiction—to bananas, alcohol, sex, and the very process of recording and listening to oneself. In one passage the voice from the tape paints a grim picture of lonely isolation: “Past midnight. Never knew such silence. The earth might be uninhabited…

Unintended Consequences: Overturning Roe v. Wade May Endanger This Cherished Evangelical Practice

By R.L. Stollar

…angelical homeschool advocate Michael Farris. Homeschoolers, who are overwhelmingly evangelical Christians, have long been forced-birth advocates. But on the cusp of victory, these forced-birth advocates might ironically be undermining the foundation of family privacy rights, thus endangering conservative practices like religious schooling and homeschooling. While being a forced-birth advocate and evangelical are now almost synonymous, this was no…

Why Al Mohler offered to “Host” Kentucky’s U.S. Senate Race Debates

By Mike Greer

…coming into question. Recently a second Kentucky Baptist College acted to free itself from Kentucky Baptists’ (i.e. Mohler’s) larger fundamentalist agenda by announcing its independence from state convention control. Southern Baptists recently rebuffed Mohler’s demand that a Southern Baptist church be expelled for being soft on the issue of gay inclusion. Southern Baptists are now openly debating the dangers of Mohler’s hyper-Calvinism. In a 2014…
