The Battle for the Meaning of Religious Freedom Day

By Frederick Clarkson

…In God We Trust in public schools and government buildings, or resolutions commemorating everything from Religious Freedom Day to Christmas—is intended to become easier as they systematically build political momentum toward more controversial legislation, like religious exemptions from providing health care to LGBTQ people, and, over the long run, to create a more theocratic society.

Record Numbers Voted for More Death and More Racism; Can We Really Just Come Together as a Nation?

By Peter Laarman

…rican voters still rallying behind Trump and hate and exclusion and death. https://twitter.com/rezaaslan/status/1323810992879357952 What does this tell us? I’ve been hearing from a number if BIPOC colleagues in religious leadership who aren’t calling me to complain about misleading polls but who do have a need to vent about the manifest white supremacy and misogyny that animates Trump’s enormous base—a base that has grown over four years despite t…

But what’s good for the goose is never good for the gander with the openly hypocritical American Right,…

…white nationalism, which may well have a seat at the table going forward. https://twitter.com/BenLorber8/status/1497409235134685184 Video from the conference shows Fuentes complaining that Putin was being compared to Hitler—“as if that isn’t a good thing”—to laughter and cheers from the audience. While many mainstream Republicans have responded to the invasion of Ukraine—including deadly Russian attacks on civilians and press—by employing the Tuc…

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

…s Rev. Dr. William Barber, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, put it: https://twitter.com/RevDrBarber/status/1327010860208967680 You’re right, of course, about the presence, albeit uneven, of media coverage that celebrates things like same-sex marriage, spontaneous outbursts of joy at Biden’s victory, and progressive Christian leaders like Rev. Barber, and there’s an odd disconnect between those stories and the stories focused on conservative…

…orative T-shirts and hoodies that read: “MAGA Civil War, January 6, 2021.” https://twitter.com/misstessowen/status/1346932836704653314 On the day of the rebellion the president told his followers at a rally to “walk down to the Capitol” in protest of the “egregious assault on democracy.” And now it’s been revealed that an FBI office in Virginia had sent a report warning of violence to its Washington office, a warning that was, according to the New…

Where Were They Radicalized? No Answer is Complete Without Addressing Evangelical Churches and Schooling

By Chrissy Stroop

…answer would lie primarily in “a combo of Fox/OANN/Newsmax and Facebook.” https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1350547045610893312?s=20 As I like to say, however, the Christian Right has been doing “alternative facts” since before it was cool. It would be remiss of us to approach the “where were they radicalized” question without addressing how the Christian schooling and homeschooling movement, along with many white churches and other evangeli…

Rep. Kinzinger Rejects Judgmental Family Letter But He’s No Cure for Evangelical GOP Authoritarianism

By Chrissy Stroop

…s you can see from the replies I got, I was far from alone in that regard: https://twitter.com/C_Stroop/status/1361727909921124355 Yes, it takes serious strength of will to buck the expectations of conformity that are de rigueur in authoritarian Christian communities. The social discipline one faces for coloring even slightly outside the lines can be swift and vicious, and it’s given all the more force by the often directly stated threat of eterna…

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

By Chrissy Stroop

…Acts 29 Network church in Nashville, Tennessee, is an eyebrow-raising one. https://twitter.com/juleswoodson11/status/1401225374000893955?s=20 Acts 29 is a loose network, but its member churches adhere to strict Calvinist theology, and, like the Southern Baptist Convention, to the doctrine of “complementarianism,” which prescribes “male headship” and wifely submission in marriage, as well as male leadership in church and, ideally, society. Without…

More and less nuanced commentators alike have a habit of opining that white evangelicals’ majority anti-immigrant and anti-refugee st…
