Crisis Pregnancy Centers and Obama’s Faith-Based Initiative

By Sarah Posner

…ion, right?) in Birmingham, Alabama. On the National Fatherhood Initiative website, Sav-A-Life describes its mission as “to help men and women embrace the truth of God’s Word as they make life-affirming decisions about their unborn child.” Aha. There’s the fatherhood part. It may come as a surprise to Obama supporters, and in particular supporters of his promotion of responsible fatherhood, that his efforts in that regard are using taxpayer money…

‘Purity’ Guru Joshua Harris May Have Left Evangelicalism But He’s Still a Member of the Church of Patriarchy

By Sara Williams

…husband. Perhaps even more to the point, Harris’ brand is benefitting in a number of ways from his public apologies. Upon release, promotion of Harris’ documentary emphasized that he would receive none of the film’s profits and the film would be available to stream free of charge, as to be totally accessible to the women his books had harmed. This is true. When I visited Harris’ website, however, I discovered the catch: I was required to submit my…

The New “Values Voters” Mantra

By Sarah Posner

…bortion, homosexuality, values, morals, or faith, although on FRC Action’s website Perriello’s enumerated sins include supporting repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell and voting for the abortion provisions in the health care law that the religious right falsely claims includes federal funding for abortions. This is the terrain of the religious right-tea party alliance: government is the enemy, they agree. Any further alliance will be forged not on wheth…

The Holocaust and 9/11 Museums: A Tale of Two Controversial Films

By Todd Fine

…an lead.” The film in its current form is viewable on the Holocaust Museum website. While it is still quite firm in arguing that the Holocaust has defined origins in Christian antisemitism, the museum’s willingness to alter the most problematic sections made the controversy largely evaporate in the years since. The 9/11 Museum’s decisions make potential resolution more complicated. Unlike the Holocaust Museum, which was able to say that its Christ…

Driscoll Makes Plagiarism Complaint Disappear

By Evan Derkacz

As has been noted by a number of observers, the allegations of plagiarism against megapastor Mark Driscoll assembled by talk show host Janet Mefferd have disappeared from her website without explanation. Just like that. For now, anyway. This comes just a day after RD published Eric Miller’s piece on the ways that terms like “Civility,” “Unity,” and “Tolerance” are manipulated in order to draw attention away from indiscretions, injustice, and oth…

Muslim Voices Festival: Story-telling For a New Millennium

By Hussein Rashid

…cultural collaboration that I wish was further explored in notes or on the website. Terms like “sati,” or bride immolation, were used for Muslims, a practice that is more closely associated with Hinduism. There also seems to be an undercurrent of Islamic supersessionism involved, where the heroes’ mythic adversaries are problematic parts of Indic cultures. These are relatively minor complaints. Perhaps the biggest problem of the evening was the po…

#OpenTheseDoors: A Movement to Turn New York’s Closed Churches into Shelters

By Kaya Oakes

…for these parish closures, and frustrated by the lack of transparency. The numbers of Catholics who attend weekly Mass may be shrinking, but some of those parishes were financially solvent. Dolan, according to canon lawyer Sister Kate Kuenstler, exacerbated the secrecy and “created chaos in the process, and confusion.” But the closures and mergers finally arrived. And when they did, a group of Catholics and people involved in housing rights began…

Mormon Church Claims DNA Studies Can’t Affirm or Reject Book of Mormon

By Holly Welker

…r-day Saints posted yet another undated, unsigned document on its official website, this one on the topic of “Book of Mormon and DNA Studies.” The essay addresses issues raised by the fact that there is little to no DNA evidence supporting the Mormon claim that the indigenous people of the Americas are the descendants of Hebrews who left Jerusalem around 600 BCE. This belief was so ingrained that for a very long time, Mormons referred to Native Am…

By Lauren Horn Griffin

…a speaker for their upcoming meeting. The cover image on the Conference’s website features Crusader Knights kneeling as a priest performs a traditional Latin mass. In early May, Nick Fuentes, self-avowed White supremacist and leader of the Groyper Army (White nationalist internet trolls), was welcomed back to X by Elon Musk after being booted by him in 2023 for antisemitic content. For example, Fuentes has explained on his show: “I want this coun…

Republican Tapped to Lead Secular Coalition for America

By Sarah Posner

…Trent Lott and Senator Jeff Sessions. According to a Q&A posted on the SCA website, Rogers says she has “always been a firm secularist and an ardent supporter of the separation of religion and government. I am passionate about increasing the respect for nontheists in the United States and protecting the secular character of our government. I think that America is a place where there should be no religious test for participation in political life….
