By Sarah Posner

…eligious right) religious freedom. The your-rights-infringe-on-my-religious-freedom argument is the main one you’d hear from an opponent of gay marriage, say. And there was a bit of that talk here today, but not as much as I suspect we’ll hear next week at the Values Voters Summit. Here, I heard a lot of talk about economic freedom, the supposedly free-spending, monstrous, socialist government, and about the wonders of free enterprise. Most people…

By Carmen Celestini

…ead disinformation and conspiracy theories have been perceived as a tinfoil-hat-wearing fringe with no influence. This response has culminated in the position we find ourselves in today.

By Tony Keddie

…of legal, structural relief for the marginalized into a call for human self-improvement. Laurie and White-Cain present two prevalent views of free will that are often used to support Republican opposition to what they call “Big Government.” Whether believers are supposed to rely more on God or themselves as a hurricane destroys their homes, they are not supposed to rely on the government.

…ns in front of his Atlanta megachurch. According to the blog PimpPreachers.com, a group of protesters were “Occupying New Birth” and demanding that Long leave the church he has pastored since 1997.

By Susannah Crockford

…ently talking about conspiracy theories. While I was in the field from 2012-2014, it was common to hear stories about vaccines as toxic, or chemtrails, poisonous heavy metal sprayed into the air from airplanes for nefarious purposes. Now in 2020, the same people are posting and talking about QAnon, election rigging, and that Covid-19 is a hoax. Belying simplistic associations between new age hippies and left-wing politics, there’s a deep distrust…
