The Right is Deeply Divided Over Support for Israel — Though It’s Not About Justice for Palestinians

By Ben Lorber

…t Christopher Rufo, who helped craft the Right’s anti-CRT talking points in 2021, called on conservatives to “create a strong association between Hamas, BLM, [Democratic Socialists of America] and academic ‘decolonization’ in the public mind. Connect the dots, then attack, delegitimize, and discredit.” Conservatives have a “tremendous opportunity” with this narrative, wrote Raw Egg Nationalist, an anonymous manosphere influencer and star of Tucker…

Are We Seeing the End of the ‘Good Arabs’ in Israel?

By Shaul Magid

…nder military law when they live amongst a Jewish population. What’s new in 2021 is the emerging political consciousness of Arab Israelis in their quest for recognition, rights, and controlling their own narrative that Israel has tried for decades to erase. Hope is not lost. As riots rage and hatred flares, there are Israeli Jews and Arabs, hundreds, maybe thousands, talking, embracing, and exchanging flowers. Human empathy can sometimes cut throu…

Obama and the Unbelievers: The Future of Secularism

By Bruce Ledewitz

…ch as “the Absolute” and “Spirit”. In fact Sponville’s description of the human condition is one with which C.S. Lewis would readily concur: “we are finite beings who open into infinity.” One day, perhaps at an inauguration in 2021, we will hear prayers that pay tribute to the enduring power of justice in history and to the enduring need for love and compassion. And if on that day those realities are referred to as God, perhaps no one will object….

A New Book Argues That This ‘Divine Institution’ is the Key to Understanding White Evangelical Culture

By Seth Dowland

…icalism’s Politics of the Family Sophie Bjork-James Rutgers U. Press March, 2021 A literal reading of this parable would spell trouble for most of the young adults at this Bible study. According to anthropologist Sophie Bjork-James, who recounts this story in her sharp new book, The Divine Institution: White Evangelicalism’s Politics of the Family, the participants were uniformly white and well-off. But these self-described literalists immediately…

Rising Christian Right Movement, New Apostolic Reformation, Emerged as a Mid-20th Century Splinter of White Supremacy

By Keri Ladner

In the days leading up to January 6, 2021, a New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) group known as Jericho March organized groups of Christians to pray, fast, and march around government buildings in Washington DC, in protest of the election results. Among the NAR apostles who called on their millions of followers to reject the results of the 2020 election are Lance Wallnau, Dutch Sheets, and Cindy Jacobs. Paula White—a popular televangelist, spiritual…

Sacrificing Children on the Altar of Religious Freedom: A Flood of Mask and Vaccine Lawsuits are Warping ‘Religious Freedom’

By Andrew L. Seidel

…. An angel stays his hand, but imagine that this had happened in America in 2021 and that Abraham had followed through. Would old Abe have had a right, based on the religious freedom protections of the First Amendment, to kill his son? This isn’t a hard question, but it is a ridiculous one. In fact, more than 150 years ago the Supreme Court rejected the idea that the right to religious freedom could ever include the right to sacrifice another huma…

Remembering Rumsfeld: The Defense Department Gospel and America’s Desert Crusade

By Nathan Schneider

UPDATE June 30, 2021: With the “known unknown” of death having taken Donald Rumsfeld, America’s poet laureate of disinformation and destruction, and with the sanitized obituaries already pouring in, we at RD were moved to resurrect a classic from the archives that may, perhaps, be a bit more emblematic of the two-time Defense Secretary’s legacy than the “love” and “integrity” for which he seems to have been heralded among his nearest and dearest….

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

…ican working class is racially diverse, and includes many BIPOC people. The 2021 American Community Survey shows: “Black, Hispanic, and other workers of color make up 45 percent of the working class, while non-Hispanic white workers comprise the remaining 55 percent.” But, as we shall see, the song doesn’t seem to be addressed to all working people, much less all those who have been left out of the American Dream. The opening of the song isn’t its…

What Can a Real Life Haunting Tell Us About American Religion? [Updated]

By Daniel Wise

…1/24/22: Readers have been asking, with varying degrees of urgency, whether there are any updates or resolution to this story. The author, Daniel Wise, writes: “Maria and Mark moved out of the Lancaster house in December of 2021 for reasons unrelated to the haunting. A couple days before they left, Mark felt Maria get into bed—but when he checked there was nobody there in the bed beside him. Maria tells me they are happy to have moved on.”…

Biden’s New Domestic Terrorism Strategy Addresses Trump’s Omission of White Nationalism, But Fails to Address Targeting of Black and Brown Americans

By Sara Kamali

…Countering Domestic Terrorism. With an initial summary released in March of 2021, the full report is in response to the January 6th insurrection and the subsequent order by President Biden for intelligence and law enforcement agencies to comprehensively assess the scope of domestic terrorism in the United States in 100 days. The result is a four-pillared strategy to tackle the “most lethal” terrorist threat today, which is defined as “extremists w…
