The True Meaning of ‘Law and Order’ Became Painfully Clear on January 6

By Jemar Tisby

“Be there, will be wild!” Trump tweeted at his supporters on December 19, thousands of whom showed up in Washington, DC, several weeks later at their leader’s urging. They climbed walls, waved Trump flags, and literally broke into the chambers of Congress. Trump’s army had orchestrated the breach that the Confederate Army had hoped for during the Civil War. The response, or lack thereof from law enforcement officials as this act of terrorism unfo…

Why the Media and Democrats Should Reject the Christian Right’s Pearl-Clutching and Address Problematic Religious Views

By Chrissy Stroop

America is trapped in an abusive relationship—not just with the pussy-grabbing President Donald Trump, our abuser-in-chief, but also with the Republican Party, its white Christian base, the police, and the increasingly uninhibited “good guys with guns,” whose vigilante actions are evidently becoming increasingly brazen. And unless liberals, leftists, and all Americans of good conscience are willing to confront the abusive character of the authori…

Less for Moore? If Russell Moore Left the SBC Due to Conscience and Convictions His Next Move Is a Curious One

By Chrissy Stroop

The departure of Russell Moore from the Southern Baptist Convention has been a long time coming. As I noted here on RD last March, since the completion of the right-wing coup known in SBC circles as the “conservative resurgence,” the SBC has tolerated only very right-wing and ultra-right-wing male leadership. (The SBC does not allow for female leadership of any kind.) As a member of the only very right-wing faction with a prominent public-facing…

Muslim Students Shocked By Professor’s Column

By Haroon Moghul

Now, I understand laissez-faire. It is intriguing, to put it temperately, that so many on the far right, whether religious or fiscal, take such a disconnected approach toward human affairs. Yes, I am demonizing a population, but we have a right to free speech. Anything that happens after my essay is published isn’t my fault. Yes, I trade in debt, but what happens to the wider economy isn’t my problem. One can say or do things of morally dubious c…

Behind the Inclusive-Sounding Ads of this $100 Million PR-Blitz-for-Jesus it’s the Same Old Conservative Christian Fantasy

By Chrissy Stroop

This month, a $100 million advertising campaign and website have been launched nationwide to help a particular figure rebrand. In the current climate, just who, do you think, might warrant such a massive PR blitz? My own answer would be “no one,” because this kind of spending to prop up the reputations of the already highly privileged strikes me as one of the more disgusting excesses of capitalism. But whether or not you share my convictions, I’m…

Sacred&Profane: The “Cult” of Oprah Inflames Religious Right

By Gary Laderman

On March 26 of this year, “The Church of Oprah Exposed” was posted on YouTube and has received, as of this writing, 5,916,675 views. At the heart of the video’s popularity is the allegation that the billionaire host of the most popular talk show in the history of television threatens Christianity and that she is, as LivePrayer.com’s Bill Keller believes, attempting to establish a cult. Keller, who likens Oprah’s views to “spiritual crack,” joins…

From Licking Floors to Praying for an Inept Government, Churches React to C-19

By Daniel Schultz

It’s particularly important for churches that continue to meet during the COVID-19 pandemic to follow the guidelines laid out by health experts given that worship services are among the largest regular gatherings in modern society, among the most physically intimate, and likely include the greatest number of vulnerable people. Even single members of large congregations can have a dramatic effect on how coronavirus spreads or doesn’t, as South Kor…

Open Letter to Pastor Judah Smith on “Inclusion”: Just for Immigrants, or LGBTQ Too?

By George Mekhail

Dear Pastor Judah, A friend of mine recently shared a tweet you wrote, which included a 60-second clip from Part 2 of your “Church Like Home” series, archived below: https://www.instagram.com/p/BNwp8xyBXAh/ When I watched it my knee-jerk response was excitement; Finally, a popular mainstream pastor is talking about getting rid of exclusion, and he’s local! This is huge! My friend, who recently experienced the painful ramifications of church exclu…

Overnight Sensation ‘The Rich Men North of Richmond’ isn’t Just a Window into a Forgotten America — It’s an Invitation into a Worldview

By Bradley Onishi

An anthem is more than a song. An anthem is a representation of a people or a movement. It exemplifies how those with a shared identity or history or experience see the world, understand their struggles, and hope for the future. Anthems are historically full of affirmation and joy. They recount hardship and tragedy—and the ways they were, or will be, overcome. Oliver Anthony’s “The Rich Men North of Richmond” is being called the new anthem of the…

Is Trying Really Good Enough? ‘The Good Place’ Has a C-word Problem

By Daniel Albert Joslyn

On October 8th, 2019, Jameela Jamil, one of the lead actresses on the surprising hit TV-show The Good Place was embroiled in a Twitter scandal. Liberal TV personality Ellen DeGeneres, who had developed a public friendship with former president and unindicted war criminal George W. Bush, tweeted a video of a monologue from her show in which she gives the background for the viral picture of the two palling around at a football game. As she explains…
