…f whom are Latino/a), he continued Cardinal Mahoney’s fight, but with some new weapons added to the arsenal. So what’s new about the tactics we see being developed by Archbishop Gomez this summer, and how do they relate to the future of Catholicism in America? Too Much Wine Flowing in Napa? A good place to seek answers would be the July 28, 2011 “Catholics in the Next America” conference at the Napa Institute, where the archbishop’s new weapons…

As We Survey the Damage of Yesterday’s Violence, What Will Christian Nationalist Politics Look Like in 2021? New Report Offers Clues

By Chrissy Stroop

…ot-so-apolitical after all “Jesus 2020,” the release of American Atheists’ new report serves as a timely reminder not only of the serious threat that Christian extremism represents to American democracy, but also that the spectacular drama that’s been unfolding on the national stage this year is only part of the story. Many crucial church-state separation battles are won and lost at the state level. To be sure, state-level culture warring did slow…

By Diane Winston

…ny of FDR’s pro-worker initiatives, and the right’s focus shifted from the New Deal to the New World Order. Conservative organizations still roiled local waters. In the 1950s, populist movements fought secular humanism in California’s public schools, and in the 1960s, millions mobilized around Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign. By the late 1970s, strong grassroots groups in California, the Ozarks, the Midwest, and the South came together in…

Unreasonable Doubt: Vincent Bugliosi Defends Agnosticism

By Eric Reitan

…bail” until further notice, expected to return to court at any time for a new trial, pending new evidence. The cloud of accusation, and the threat of incarceration, might be allowed to hang over them indefinitely. But hung juries aside, there are reasons why we don’t do that. In the face of uncertainty, we think it is better to err on the side of letting the guilty go free than on the side of shattering the lives of the innocent. And so, even if…

Hitchens Debates Conservative Evangelical: Nothing Happens

By Eric Reitan

…hose terms. The idea is that instead of trying to defend the goal that the new atheists are trying to score against, I’m standing on the sidelines defending the water cooler and shouting “missed again!” every time a new atheist kicks one straight into the net. But I think this analogy tells us more about the current state of the so-called “God debates” than it does about anything else. It seems to me that far too many people treat these debates as…

A New Book Argues That This ‘Divine Institution’ is the Key to Understanding White Evangelical Culture

By Seth Dowland

…’t practice family values. But he promised to fight for a world they once knew, where men were men and women knew their place; a world where white Christians enjoyed a cultural supremacy that seems to be slipping away. If that’s where ‘family values’ leads white evangelicals—to support an amoral narcissist—perhaps evangelicals would have been better off reading the whole Bible literally. Then they would at least believe that, like the rich man in…

The New York Times Sunday Review has a Mormon Problem

By Joanna Brooks

…terization of Mormonism as a “white God’s” plan “for whites” would come as news to millions of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Asia, Latin America, and Africa who have claimed Mormonism as their own. Missionary proselytizing certainly entails its own racial problematics, and one will find in the annals of Mormonism as much racial chauvinism as you’ll find in the history of any other conservative American denomination….

40 Million Nonbelievers in America? The Secret Is Almost Out

By Ronald Aronson

…tly doing battle with religion) but are, in Peter Steinfels’ terminology, “new new atheists.” These people are not primarily concerned with arguing against the belief in God, but are trying to find ways of coexisting in a society in which both nonbelievers and believers can expect to be around for a long time to come. They shy away from labels as they seek their own bearings and their own comfort zone in today’s America. Secularists welcomed Presi…

The Leadership Failure of Park51

By Hussein Rashid

…capital being used on this project, its failure would set the community in New York, if not the country, back generations. For it to succeed at this point means allowing a project to go forward with which New Yorkers, and especially its Muslims, are not entirely comfortable. Leadership at this point means finding a way out of this morass that does not cost us any more. I think the idea is good, but there is no vision. Show us that vision and get u…
