Boo! Trump’s Lead With Religious Voters Not As Bigly As You Might Think

By Daniel Schultz

…al camps: that Trump leads with white religious voters is disgusting, and that it proves that he’s in a good position to win on November 8th. The first assertion—whatever you think of the value judgment—needs some qualification, and the second is pretty much wishful thinking at this point. Here’s what you need to make sense of the religious vote so far. PRRI has expanded into more secular-based polling, but they still do good work with religious v…

By Robert P. Jones

…l-in for Trump’s MAGA worldview and support the television media networks that promote it: 84% have a favorable view of Trump, compared to 32% of Americans. 71% continue to believe the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump, compared to 28% of Americans (PRRI, American Values Survey, 2022). Nearly half (48%) say they most trust either Fox News or far-right news such as Newsmax or OAN to give them accurate news about current ev…

Sheldon Adelson’s Long Game

By Sarah Posner

…spent on politics more generally. I don’t think anyone has any illusions that American Jews could be shifted en masse from the Democratic column to the Republican column.” That’s a pretty narrow, immediate results-oriented look at the impact of the mega-donor phenomenon (a common tic of political reporters), particularly in the case of Adelson, whose spending is aimed not just at influencing the outcome of the election, but probably more cruciall…

After Her Remarks Pope JPII Was Never the Same — Controversial, Beloved Sr Theresa Kane’s Effect on the Catholic Church Endures

By Mary E. Hunt

…l order that Rome had to take seriously. But what she came to realize was that what she could not get done on the inside required collaboration with groups like Women’s Ordination Conference, Call to Action, Future Church, Dignity USA, Women’s Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual (WATER), and others whose very existence chills the bones of ecclesial patriarchs. She strategized and collaborated with many groups, always realistic about what was…

New Research Suggests That Belief in Demons May Help Explain Christian Support of Trump

By Robert Repino

…ey don’t need to organize a peer reviewed study. Instead they can declare that the jab is the mark of the beast, and that God will intervene on behalf of the faithful. Thus, any conflict, no matter how mundane, can be as dramatic as the most lurid chapter of This Present Darkness. No matter how many examples of this nonsense we find, sophisticated experts and columnists will dismiss it all as fake Christianity. They will continue to interview Trum…

‘Leaving is Never So Simple as Stepping Over a Line’ — A Conversation with the Author of ‘Rift,’ a New Memoir on Christian Patriarchy

By Audrey Clare Farley

…ite supremacy (though not always explicitly), and you have an environment that promotes large White families while diminishing the value of families of color. You read your way out of Christian patriarchy. Authors like Avi and Jane Austen gave you the idea that girls “don’t have to be good to be happy.” This resonates with me, having also used books as a North star. I often wonder if, even in the absence of feminist messages, there’s something inh…

By Antonia Gross and Rina Nikolaeva

…CC, a spokesperson declined to engage in further “discussion,” explaining that “we don’t believe that our respective missions have any synergy.” To this point at least it seems to have gone well for the IFTCC—particularly since few outside their community know too much about what they’re doing. The organization recently announced its next—and 10th—annual conference. Same place, same time, in Poland, in October 2024, but the importance of secrecy s…

It’s Time for Democrats to Read the Bible Verses on the Wall and Stop Courting White Evangelicals

By Ryan Burge

…t least a third of adherents support family separation on the border, and that’s white evangelicals. It may have been the case two decades ago that larger shares of white evangelicals could have been convinced to back a moderate Democrat in an election. But religious sorting is real and most evangelicals who didn’t align with the Republicans have left the pews. Those that are left are more religiously and politically conservative than ever before….
