QAnon Didn’t Just Spring Forth From the Void — It’s the Latest From a Familiar Movement

By Adam Willems

…rational, how do you reconcile that statement with QAnon at the same time being a product—or an absurd outcome—of the New Christian Right? Absurdity doesn’t necessarily have to be irrational, and the space where QAnon does actually map pretty neatly onto new religious movements is the idea of an internally rational worldview, or an internally consistent worldview that is unrecognizable and seems irrational from the outside. We saw something simila…

Christian Schools Invoke Religious Liberty to Reopen Despite Warnings of Health Experts

By Chrissy Stroop

…e right to practice religion freely does not include liberty to expose the community…to communicable disease.’ Although I am not a constitutional law expert, this seems to me a compelling reason to consider the issue settled in favor of those who oppose “religious liberty” exemptions from public health measures like social distancing. Unfortunately, even as the federal government and red states have spectacularly failed to rein in the COVID-19 pan…

As COVID-19 Spreads, Nicaragua’s Leaders Opt For Trumpian Denial and Misinformation

By Jeannine M. Pitas

…ut what is going on,” she says. In Nicaragua, which already suffers the burden of being the second-poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, a growing number of people are uneasy with the gap between the government’s story about COVID-19 and the reality they see in their communities. While the New York Times and other news outlets have covered this story in the U.S., the amount of reportage has not been extensive, perhaps because the U.S. is stru…

How a Bill O’Reilly Bestseller Helps Explain the Anti-Semitism Behind the Poway Shooting

By Tony Keddie

…nt. We don’t need to turn to the particular theology of the OPC or radical online fora to understand the synagogue shooter’s Bible-based vilification of Jews as avaricious money-grubbers who killed Jesus. He could have reached this conclusion from much more mainstream sources—for instance, from an attentive reading of Bill O’Reilly’s New York Times bestseller, Killing Jesus, picked up at his local bookstore. The wide appeal of the gospel of white…

Behind a Recent Stunt in Idaho Lies a Dangerous Theocratic Movement

By Chrissy Stroop

…nstream Idahoan conservative frustration with the radicals can easily be found online. In an op-ed on the events of June 23, Idaho Statesman opinion editor Scott McIntosh described the rogue session as exhibiting “all of the passion and religious fervor of a good Sunday service.” McIntosh’s choice of words is neither accidental nor unique. Abbott, who posted video of the event via Facebook Live, has taken to calling such spectacles “political serm…

DeSantis’ Religious Exemption Will Kill—And it Violates the 1st Amendment

By Andrew L. Seidel

…more people that gather, the more viruses spread. Viruses do not respect boundaries or holy ground, they simply travel from person to person. Second, these exemptions unconstitutionally favor churches. The Supreme Court has also held that the First Amendment “requires the state to be neutral in its relations with groups of religious believers and non-believers” and that the “government may not favor religious belief over disbelief.” By unnecessari…

The Religious Mourning of ‘Saint’ Kobe Bryant Continues

By Terry Shoemaker

…bout Bryant’s abilities, including in his last game when he led the Lakers comeback victory over the Utah Jazz, becoming in the process the oldest player in NBA history to score 60 points in a single game. Like saints, Kobe Bryant wasn’t perfect. The charges of rape and violence against a young woman in 2003 are truly horrific. The incident certainly scarred his victim, and the accusations left a blight on Bryant’s reputation. Bryant never admitte…

Anti-Transgender Panel at Values Voter Summit Continues Shift Towards Storytelling as Tactic

By Heron Greenesmith

…ansgenderism, it has a two-fold appeal… . Once they declare a transgender identity, they suddenly have a group of ‘friends’ the likes of which they have never experienced.” Anti-trans advocacy groups like ACPeds and FRC leverage the myth of causation between autism and transgender status in order to accuse transgender people of recruiting children, and parents like Lynn Meagher believe them. The second assertion I wanted to address—that transgende…

By Chrissy Stroop

…in Tampa, Florida. The tract asserts, “Killer kids are the result of God being removed from education,” and objects to the teaching of evolution, claiming that, “If you teach children that they come from animals, then do not be surprised when they begin to act like them!” This too, is not a new formulation; it was common among the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Christian intellectuals I first began studying in graduate school. Then,…

Christian ‘Purity’ Guru’s Loss of Faith May Signal a Coming Reckoning For Conservative Christianity

By Elizabeth Shively

…on-Christians and liberal Christians) and conservatives (including many Protestant denominations and Catholics) have been “mutually constitutive”; that is, when there were progressive gains, conservatives responded by placing the restoration of old values at the center of their identity. Nowhere has this been more true than around attitudes about sex, which Griffith says have come to signal a person or group’s attitudes about modernity itself. Arg…
