…e 2022 GOP gubernatorial candidacies of state Sen. Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania and State Sen. Brian Dahle in California. “When we are born again,” says Sheets, in a 2021 “Daily Prayer with Dutch” video, “we are no longer simply humans… we are a new race of supernatural beings called Christians.” NAR is about the organization of this supernatural race into the Ekklesia, whose purpose he says is “managing and governing the earth.” In fairness, Sh…

By Shane Burley

…se he saw that the Jews could survive in America if they created for themselves, not an enclave like you see with the [Hasidic] Satmar [community], but a sense of pride where Jews would marry and hang around with other Jews and act exclusively for the sake of Jews and Jewishness. And, if necessary, make other people afraid of them, frankly. How did Kahane understand antisemitism and how has his understanding of antisemitism influenced, not just th…

…gh he’s a full-on fascist Civil War preacher. And I’ll say this—It’s like Elvis and Chuck Berry, right? Elvis rips off Chuck Berry. We know that. That’s settled.

With a background in researching German fascism, the encounter you describe at the Lord of Hosts Church…

The End of Roe and School Prayer: America is Not Ready to Be a Christian Nation

By Andrew L. Seidel

…spinning a “deceitful narrative” of the case. After the Institute got involved, the coach was not content with accommodations that protected the religious freedom of students, but instead demanded to use the power of his office, which gave him access to a captive audience of school children, to pray with those school children. If the Court gets this case wrong, the religious freedom of every public school student in the country is in jeopardy. In…

The Evangelical Abortion Myth: An Excerpt from ‘Bad Faith’

By Randall Balmer

…invoke the moniker “new abolitionists” in an apparent effort to ally themselves with their antebellum evangelical predecessors who sought to eradicate the scourge of slavery.
