PRRI’s Melissa Deckman recently contended that “there’s a deliberate strategy by the Trump campaign to reach out to, especially, disaffected young men.

…tudy in an open-source journal under the name Johannes Bohannon, made up a website for a fake research institute, and wrote a press release. Journalists interviewed him about his work. Bild, a major German newspaper, ran their article as a front page story. Other publications, including Shape magazine and the Daily Express, covered it as well. Nobody caught him; Bohannon came clean about the stunt last week. The problem of fake science getting a p…

…of Norman, OK which likens abortion to slavery. The slick images on their website and Facebook page diagnose mainstream culture as a perverted mess of pride and comfort, as they exhort people to repent and give up everything in the name of faithfulness. Not a new theme, but one with real resonance, especially among young people. (Now compare that to the web presence of Oklahomans for Life.) It seems like some kind of realignment may be in the wor…

…ht-wing religious groups that adamantly opposed LGBTQ equality. Nicolosi’s website, which serves as the central hub for NARTH’s now-limited activities, proclaims “You Don’t Have to Be Gay” on its homepage.

By Jonathan Malesic

…autiful building in town. Even if the nearest Lutheran church has a crummy website, its music is surely better than what you’ll find at the “atheist church” Sunday Assembly. It would be a shame for these resources go to waste. I suspect that for many of the spiritual liberals Jain and Levites are talking about, there is just one problem: belief. According to a Pew Research Center study released last year, the most common reason adults gave for dis…

…obinson went to rehab during his episcopacy). An editorial that ran on the website of the American Anglican Council called the incident “[s]ad for the Episcopal Church that has fallen so far away from godly discipline and order.” The right-wing Anglican blogosphere was more direct: “The most recent outrage (and there have been many) of a drunken bishop killing a cyclist, then fleeing the scene of the crime and hiding behind a gated community so sh…

Bush Fundraises For Those Who Want to Fix the “Blindness of the Jews”

By The Editors

…Messiah. The organization’s goal: to “restore” Israel and the Jews and bring about about the second coming of Christ.” In addition to being widely written about in other media, the story resulted in both the removal of all information about Bush’s appearance from the group’s website, and a fairly tepid statement of “disappointment” from the Anti-Defamation League’s Abe Foxman. Foxman’s capacity to go easy on powerful figures who uncritically supp…

So, assuming the remaining five-hundred something are largely or exclusively focused on hostility toward Christians, the survey would more accurately be called Christian Hostility in America (which really highlights the ambiguity in the survey’s title, I think); and 2) Given the auspicious timing of a survey…

…e word out about this? We’re doing our best. We want people to come to our website and take the information, then go and use it in a way that can speak to their communities from their own perspectives. That gets at my next question, which is in that same What You Can Do? document I mentioned earlier. It suggests giving a message of hope as part of the work. How can voters encourage one another in this sort of nerve-racking time? Fear is certainly…
