By Hollis Phelps

It’s common knowledge that the religious right played a large role in the election of Donald Trump in 2016. About 4 out of 5 white evangelicals voted for Trump and the majority continue to back him, even if explicit support may be slipping. Evangelical support for Trump has, of course, not gone without its critics, among which include fellow evangelicals themselves. Some have even suggested that we’re on the cusp of an alternative religious movem…

In April of 2010, Eddie Glaude wrote “The Black Church is Dead,” an essay that incited conversation and debate about contemporary black Protestantism.

By Omar Sarwar

…the LGBT rights movement, particularly the “self-destructive behaviors” it promotes and “the lifestyle it assumes.” For them, the gay rights movement has saddled monotheists with the imperative to make space for loud and proud homosexuals, but this is equivalent in principle to an adulterers’ rights movement demanding space for loud and proud cheaters. Apparently, pursuing a consensual gay relationship is no different than breaking one’s marriage…

Thank You, Ben Carson, For Your Latest Anti-Muslim Rant

By Haroon Moghul

In an interview yesterday with Breitbart “News” Daily, Dr. Ben Carson told host Stephen Bannon that American Muslims who tried to embrace an American value like democracy while practicing Islam would have to be “schizophrenic.” Because the two, as he Islamsplained, were in no way compatible.

By Katie Toth

…s well the slave masters-so get over it and move on!” 2) “I do agree with Santorum that this is a ‘spiritual war’ and that ‘Satan is targeting the U.S.’ which is precisely why I believe Barack Obama was selected and elected. I’m convinced that the weak-kneed timidity that’s preventing many white conservative Christians from pointing out Obama’s wickedness is a result of their fear of being labeled ‘racist.’” 3) “Evil understands that most white C…

Meet the Christian Reconstructionists Behind the Latest Birther Theory

By Sarah Posner

…08). Farah is the editor of WND, the website that has played a key role in promoting birtherism. Lofton said he expected Titus’ theory to figure in Corsi’s forthcoming book, which is already being promoted on WND. (Lofton was critical of WND for focusing too much on the birth certificate rather than on this, in his view, more critical question.) Both Lofton and Titus are admirers of R.J. Rushdoony, the intellectual godfather of Christian Reconstru…

By Lauri Lebo

Just when you thought the anti-abortion extremism couldn’t get any more, well, extreme. Earlier this month, Rep. Phil Jensen, a South Dakota Republican lawmaker, had proposed an amendment to a bill to expand the legal definition of justifiable homicide by adding language that said a homicide is permissible if committed by a person while resisting an attempt to harm that person’s “unborn child or the unborn child of that person’s spouse, partner,…

Abdul-Rauf’s Latest Park51 Fail

By Hussein Rashid

Feisal Abdul-Rauf is in the news again for statements on Park51. Again, he is muddying the waters, and setting back the cause he is supposedly working towards. When asked if he would move the project, this past week’s answer was yes, when previously he’d suggested it would upset some people overseas, so he wouldn’t. It highlights the persistent leadership failure of Abdul-Rauf. The Park51 team most recently issued a press release in early Januar…

The Latest Suspicious Ex-Muslim

By Hussein Rashid

This summer I wrote about “the only good Christians are ex-Muslims” as an industry amongst evangelical communities. But that’s just one segment of the industry. It seems there is a new rising star amongst the ex-Muslims and, like his antecedents, his story is highly dubious. I.Q. Al-Rassooli is being touted as the newest ex-Muslim speaker. A short look at his brief bio reveals many of the same problems that earlier professional converts have had….
