…ubt that homosexuality is seen as a crime. Article 427 of the Afghan penal code refers only to “pederasty” – a sexual act between males, one of them understood to be a youth or a boy.

…bills, which rolled out starting in 2023 and became a defining part of the 2024 legislative cycle as well. Those aren’t trying to police speech in the classroom per se, because that [tactic] was running into legal issues on First Amendment grounds. Instead, they try to reshape what services schools provide to their students.

…s speech—after a long list of far-right celebrity shout outs—by framing the 2024 election as a battle: “the greatest in our history, most important battle in our lives is taking place right now as we speak. For seven years, you and I have been engaged in an epic struggle to rescue our country from the people who hate it and want to absolutely destroy it.” The stakes aren’t just political control—though political control is part of it—but existenti…

…ith Parker. The energetic and prodigiously gifted Parker, still claimed by today’s Unitarians as a denominational demigod, was, back in January of 1843, actually chucked out by the Unitarians during a tight-lipped confrontation over teacups. His chief accuser was the exalted head of Harvard Divinity School, Andrews Norton. Parker considered himself “excommunicated” and went on to found his own 28th Congregational Society in Boston as a haven for f…

In ‘The Evangelical Mission to Spread The Gospel to Muslims’ a Journalist Tells a Global Story About Evangelical Missionaries and the Spread of Right-Wing Ideology

By Daniel Schultz

…. You have multiple sources in different countries supporting missionaries today. So the mission is funded in different ways, but the money behind it is really [given for] the training and equipping of pastors. All these huge conferences started to gather these global bodies together and gave them a sense of [being] one church. But what’s behind the modern global evangelical movement, which kind of started with the Lausanne movement in 1974, was t…

Did Romney Cynically Cite His Mormon Faith for Impeachment Vote as Critics Claim?

By Daniel Schultz

…ects, the senator couldn’t say. (He doesn’t have to face voters again until 2024.) But as he thought about it, another hymn came to mind. “Do what is right; let the consequence follow,” he recited. “And I don’t know what all the consequences will be.” Trump and his defenders got on high pissy-face about that. “I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong,” the president sniffed (literally). “Nor do I l…

Has American Conservatism Abandoned the Christian Right?

By Bradley Onishi

…of non-Whites, non-Christians and non-native-born people on American soil. Today this story is propagated by a veritable Christian-nationalist industry that includes radio stations, video series, scores of books and entire organizations dedicated to telling White conservative Christians that the nation is their birthright. For Hochman, the only way to measure Christianity’s influence on American conservatism is through church attendance or how oft…

…s rise and controversial final months. I had first met Neiwert when he was promoting his 2017 book, Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump,3 a definitive chronicle of the rise of the Patriot, Alt Right, and MAGA movements that led to Trump’s election. Neiwert’s reporting had a unique quality: no matter how established he was in covering this world, he always found something new, injected a fresh perspective into the coverag…

Trump’s Arrest ‘Prediction’ Inflames Holy War Narrative and Sanctifies Violence — Welcome to Trump ’24

By Thomas Lecaque

…rse, as many have pointed out, it’s highly unlikely Trump will be arrested today as he’s the only source for the claim, but it’s notable that he continues to use rhetoric reminiscent of his CPAC speech; rhetoric that amounts to a thinly-veiled call for violence: This is again the language of the Enemy—“radical left anarchists,” “criminals & leftist thugs,” rage against immigrants—destroying the nation, with claims that “Our Nation is now Third Wor…
