Kendi’s National-Book-Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America provides exactly what we need. Racism, he explains, is simply the belief that one racial group is superior or inferior to another. Racist ideas stem from a simple question: why do the prospects of some racial groups look so different from others? Three answers were developed to…

The Real Mormon Moment

By Joanna Brooks

…t few days, I have been getting Facebook messages and phone calls from rank-and-file Mormons not interviewed by the Times relaying that they too have been accosted or called in by their bishops for voicing support for greater equality for women in the church, or same-sex civil marriage rights. “I’m really a nobody,” wrote one woman. “Just a stay at home mom who doesn’t particularly go out of her way to take up too much space on the internet.” Whet…

How AIDS Changed the Way American Christians Talk About Sex

By Anthony Petro

…The chapter moved away from my focus on sexual morality in the rest of the book and opened up a host of complicated historical and cultural issues that needed much more attention than I could give them in one chapter. So I shelved it, at least for the book. There are several good studies that have since been published or that are in the works on the history of African Americans and the AIDS crisis, including attention to religion, that I wish I’d…

…hool.” Stringer, 26, is now a legal consultant in Oxford, Mississippi, a co-host of the atheist podcast Beyond the Trailer Park, and openly bisexual. However, she’s still processing her experiences at French Camp Academy. “I laugh about it and make jokes,” Stringer says, “but that is how I deal with it because there are parts of that experience that I look back on as an adult and realize just how dark my experiences truly were, so I use humor and…

Will SCOTUS’s New Zeal for “Neutrality” Affect its Decision on the “Muslim Ban”?

By Elizabeth Reiner Platt

…cinating (or perhaps disheartening) to see whether the Court maintains its newfound zealous commitment to religious neutrality in future cases brought by religious minorities and progressives. In our recent comment to HHS on its proposed religious refusal regulation, the Public Rights/Private Conscience Project argued that by providing broad protections for medical providers opposed to abortion, but few protections to those who are religiously mot…

“Dark” Skin No Longer a Curse in Online Book of Mormon

By Joanna Brooks

RDNews: Oct 20, 2008

By Bill Berkowitz

…Association is proud to offer holiday trinkets sure to become a sacred hand-me-down in Christmas-embattled families all across the nation; a new Christmas button, and a glossy sticker, emblazoned with the slogan: “It’s OK to say Merry Christmas.” The new pin is the most tangible symbol of AFA’s “Project Merry Chrtistmas,” which intends to “Help preserve our tradition of saying ‘Merry Christmas’ … in your church”: Christians can take a stand and pr…

Old Testament ‘Bad,’ New Testament ‘Good’: A Dangerous (and Mistaken) Assumption

By Peter Laarman

…tual divinity for Jesus, and the great majority of Jews who said thanks-but-no-thanks to that idea. Thus we find, most notoriously in the Fourth Gospel, a number of set pieces aiming to show dramatic direct conflict between Jesus and “the Jews.” This Big Breakup point, occurring 60-90 years after Jesus’ death, is where Christian anti-Judaism and Christian supersessionism starts, and there has been no end to it ever since. I need not elaborate on t…

Undercover at Falwell’s Liberty University, Finding Common Ground

By Nathan Schneider

…rbation habit. And, on behalf of the school newspaper, he landed a rare one-on-one interview with Jerry Falwell himself. When Falwell died just before the semester’s end, Roose won the distinction of being the last print journalist to interview the former Moral Majority kingpin. Perhaps most miraculous of all, though: when Roose returned to campus after writing his book, he didn’t get clobbered. Nobody seemed to mind that he had been lying and spy…

“Hey You! Anti-Semite!”: A Jewish Krewe does Mardi Gras

By Barbra Barnett

…most of the members that I spoke with on Saturday, many of whom are young newcomers to the city. Krewe du Jieux offers a chance to join in on the fun, blending Jewish and New Orleanian cultural traditions: a klezmer-inflected brass band that occasionally bursts into a jazzy rendition of Hava Nagila. There are, of course, lots of ways to participate in carnival. Many krewes have open membership and no waiting lists. But the distinctively culturall…
