…ty and America’s future. Of course Israel has always been an issue in presidential campaigns, but the current situation on the ground, along with a growing number of Christian right political players adding it to their advocacy agenda, will likely catapult it into the forefront in 2016. (The most interesting horse-race thing to watch here will be the battle between the Ted Cruz and Rand Paul camps.) When the candidates try to outdo each other with…

By Katherine Stewart

…vest considerable efforts in seeking to overturn some anti-bullying school guidelines on the grounds that such policies persecute the “Christian perspective” on LGBT rights and that demanding tolerance is a front for promoting “homosexual values.” Finally, let’s consider fundamentalist Good News Clubs, which are presently in well over 3,000 public elementary schools around the country.

Gingrich, Historian, Religionist, Fails Own MLK Weekend Test

By Sarah Posner

…g points. Surely he knew what sort of religious angle would inspire here, being a student of American history, an aficianado of its religions (because, after all, he also knows how dangerous Muslims are and what Jews think), an expert on the nation’s essential Christian core, and in particular someone who taught history in the American south. He launched straight to economic issues, offering his “solutions” to create jobs by drilling for offshore…

Catholic Anti-Nuke Activists Looking at 20 Years in Prison a True Test for Religious Freedom

By Patrick Hornbeck

…igious institutions that teach them to defend religious liberties in terms commonly understood as conservative. Culturally, as well, the idea of the lone believer standing up against a supposedly secularizing government has longstanding cachet. But if the degree of religious freedom that we afford a person depends on the content of her beliefs, the goose and the gander are no longer on the same table. Those who have fought long and hard for the ri…

Kirill’s Sermon May Be Bad Preaching and Even Worse Theology — But it’s a Top-Notch Rejection of Liberal Democracy

By Daniel Schultz

…some of the big examples involve fighting on the very same land currently being contested. Kirill’s subtlest offense in this homily may have been to introduce a moral element to what is in reality a squalid, garden variety attempt by a reckless dictator to prop up his own position with aggression against a weaker nation. There are no greater values at stake for Russia than Vladimir Putin’s checking account. A braver religious leader, one not behol…

…eason it might not also include a digital retreat with the teachers of the online Buddhist community, Tricycle. I would hope, too, that a day on which we attend to how we connect with others would involve appreciative reflection on the dozens and dozens of digitized expressions of prayer, compassion, and grief that unfolded across Twitter and Facebook as Sarah and Adam Walker Cleaveland connected through others known and unknown to them during a t…

Hey Hey, Ho Ho White Jesus Has to Go… But The Issue is More Complicated Than You Think

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…. In the middle was a brown-skinned man sitting stoically with a halo surrounding his perfectly round Afro. I know you’re thinking the very same thing I did when I was a kid: “You had a picture of Richard Pryor and his friends hanging up in your house?” It would be several years before I realized that my father had painted this rendition of the Last Supper and that he’d consciously decided to paint Jesus and the Twelve Disciples as Black. From an…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

…here’s something that doesn’t add up about it, something terrible and profound. I think it’s Euclidean geometry. At the same time, Lindell’s commerical taps deep roots in American religion. We have always been a nation eager to seek redemption from former sins, all the way back to Jonathan Edwards’ sinners in the hands of an angry God to the Methodist and Presbyterian strivers of the Second Great Awakening, all the way up to today’s megachurches p…

By Chrissy Stroop

…ome into play as well, with the Secular Survey finding that 29.2% of respondents under 25 whose parents were aware of their nonreligious identity had somewhat or very unsupportive parents. By including questions about loneliness and isolation, the survey was able to suggest that such situations result in higher likelihood of depression, and it also showed that lack of family support for nonreligious Americans resulted in lower educational achievem…
